People can't live on $7.50 an hour.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you think about $7.25 an hour, that's $290 a week. It's inhumane to have that kind of wage.
Living on $6 a day means you have a refrigerator, a TV, a cell phone, your children can go to school. That's not possible on $1 a day.
How can anyone live off of minimum wage?
It's very difficult when you have $1.50 per day to spend on food and drink, but for people who live this reality, that money also has to cover medical expenses and education, fuel and shelter - sometimes for an entire family.
People who work 44 hours per week make 50 percent more than people who work 34 hours a week.
Nobody who works 40 hours a week should have to live in poverty.
The person earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 isn't going out to eat at restaurants. They're not taking piano lessons. They're not going to the gym or the yoga studio. They're not sending mom flowers on Mother's day. What good is this person in the economy? If you raise it to $15 an hour, they're doing all of those things.
The station put us on staff at $35 a week... and I mean every week.
They're paying me an outrageous sum of money; $40,000 a week, which is totally silly.
The prices are ridiculous... I don't see how people can go back and forth to work or to school. How can we afford the gas?
