#DYK that over 40 million people in the US are low-wage workers?
According to a recent study released by the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, there is no place in America where someone working full-time at the minimum wage can afford housing, healthcare, food, and other essentials.
By raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, this would immediately put an estimated $328 billion into the economy. It would also give people working this type of job a more stable and liveable life.
