I just started a new job, but they only pay as little as they are legally allowed.
What is the minimum wage in your area?
In Oklahoma it is $7.25 an hour.
I am not sure what it is in my state, minimum wage is hard to live on.
That's the truth. If it didn't cost so much to move, I'd go to Washington. They have $11.50/hour pay.
Well the problem with the minimum wage being higher is that the cost of living is also higher, so really it equals out
Well, that may be true to some extent, places that raise minimum wage tend to see a decrease in poverty.
