Topic	Let's see if we cn get every minimum wage job to pay 20 per hour.
jiffdiff 12/29/22 1:52:12 PM #17:	wolfy42 posted... Since I moved to WA min wage jumped by 50%, the rental costs doubled pretty much across the board, food prices have almost doubled as well. Many skilled jobs that used to make a bit more then min wage, are now making only min wage (and even people that worked them for years are making that). Home health aid? Used to have to get 3 months training and started at $14 an hour or so back in 2016 (when I moved here). The training was about $800 as well. Yeah, it's all local minimum wage increases that are causing national inflation. Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that the government spent 5 trillion that it doesn't have over the last few years to handle covid. <cite>jiffdiff posted [p:970483936] in Let's see ...
