minus-square@Mr_Blottlink7•1 year agoFuck me, I just converted the minimum wage in France, which is considered quite low, into dollars $12.65 :( Considering the horrific rent prices, food prices and basic utilities like internet, $7.25 is slave wages
minus-square@SheeEttinlink10•1 year agoYup. After adjusting for inflation, this is the lowest it’s been since 1945. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1065466/real-nominal-value-minimum-wage-us/ A few more years, and minimum wage will be worth less than it was when it was created in 1938.
minus-squarepartial_accumenlink2•1 year agoIn fairness 29 US states or territories have minimum wage higher that that federal minimum of $7.25/hour Still nearly every state’s minimum wage is still too low.
