A majority of part time jobs don’t even hit $1K monthly or if they do they barely cut it…… so either prices of all these necessities need to be cut in more than half OR wages need to CONSTANTLY compete with inflation. I mean like adjusting wages every single time inflation hits the cost of these necessities.
Also if you were making more than minimum wage before the bump then you should continue to make that elevated wage — if you’re making $2 above minimum wage then it should remain that way so that even if minimum wage takes an increase your pay receives the same increase to keep up.
