From social media, an article was shared that detailed an opinion: "affordable housing is a national crisis and so are poverty wages." Naturally, the conversation went to two inevitable opinions:
1. The minimum wage was designed to be a minimum living wage.
2. Single mothers having a hard time making ends meet.
Let's look at some pertinent facts regarding these opinions.
Regardless of whether the minimum wage was designed to be a minimum living wage, it never will be unless the government engages in overall price fixing. Futhermore, if minimum wage is your career objective, then you are not planning well for your future.
Most - the vast majority of - single mothers are single by their own choice. If they cannot afford it, perhaps their choice was poor. Doesn't mean we need to legislate something.
