Who decides what a living wage is? Also why is $15/hr considered to be so? And finally, does the cost of living not change substantially across the country or even a county?
This whole living wage nonsense is crazy. Why is the employer responsible for anything other than providing the opportunity to work? The worker surely has the option to find work elsewhere or move to where this employment exists.
