minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoFuck me, I just converted the minimum wage in France, which is considered quite low, into dollars $12.65 :( Considering the horrific rent prices, food prices and basic utilities like internet, $7.25 is slave wages
minus-squareSheeEttin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoYup. After adjusting for inflation, this is the lowest it’s been since 1945. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1065466/real-nominal-value-minimum-wage-us/ A few more years, and minimum wage will be worth less than it was when it was created in 1938.
minus-squarepartial_accumen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoIn fairness 29 US states or territories have minimum wage higher that that federal minimum of $7.25/hour Still nearly every state’s minimum wage is still too low.
