Median wage is around $65,000 for a sole earner. That's $32.50/hr if 2,000 hours worked (50 weeks out of 52 weeks due to 2 weeks vacation with 40 hours worked for all 50 weeks. 50 weeks X $32.50 = $65,000.)
It's really the only data to go off of. $15 x 2,000 = $30,000 PRE-THEFT. I mean tax. Do the math. Something is truthfully fucked up if people are working full time and aren't able to thrive. And when people barely get by how in the world does any business expect the best effort out of their employees? They don't - as much as they gripe and moan about high turnover, they secretly love it and they need it to prosper by keeping their payroll as low as possible.
