    Low unemployment numbers don't tell the full story. Far too many families are working hard, but still struggling to make ends meet. It's time to make OUR government work #ForThePeople instead of for wealthy insiders & those at the top!https://www.businessinsider.com/minimum-wage-worker-cant-afford-one-bedroom-rent-us-2018-6?fbclid=IwAR1HzHk2UzVYQpWYL1nGsdHsQUtmnst2N0Dy2cBlKAb0rntvBBibykWWhZg …

        Minimum wage is about a value proposition. The person who makes minimum wage offers minimum skills. They employers who pay minimum wage are being asked to pay more than the work is worth. Stop the influx of cheap labor and minimum wage will naturally increase.

        Obama created part time & gov jobs. Trump is trying to create better manufacturing jobs. Do you even realize your attempt to show a Home Depot worker (assume minimum wage?) is holding a foreign parts, foreign assembled, foreign profit air conditioner?! Are you really this dense?

        What's wrong with getting an education and skill that pays more. Self improvement

        If min wage is raised what’s going to stop the cost of all goods and services to increase to meet the added expenses for companies? What’s going to stop people for continuing to overcharge for rents? Nothing. People will make more and still not have enough.

        That’s funny! When Obama was President all you could talk about were how the unemployment numbers were lowering. I don’t trust any government numbers since we are not using the real UE rate.

        What does this even mean? No one who works minimum wage was meant to live on that or support a family. That is why it is called minimum. Under Obama this was way worse

        Minimum wage jobs are not meant to support a family. We need more retraining and vocational opportunities.

        I thought minimum wage was set for early entrants and unskilled workers not for jobs that skilled labor should want - maybe people need to learn to move cities where their skills are demanded or rent is lower... May be health issues at play here too - do not have all facts.

        Wages are rising on president Trump. What will the Democrats do to raise wages? I’ll wait.
