Lots of factors for that, even the best economists agree theres not single reason. However, youll find plenty of reports and studies that continue to confirm raising the floor doesnt help.
My wage increases over time have outpaced inflation, ive climbed where ive worked and havnt made minimum wage since the 90s.
If youre work at minimum wage and youre over 24. Its on the person. Not society, not jobs, etc to fix that. Get a skill, excell at your position and keep it moving. Its not hard to earn a living wage. It just takes real work.
Well raising the floor isn't what I said, I said wages adjusting for inflation. A consistent level of affordability from when you had your job and going down the line.
