Deep dives
Minimum wage struggles to provide a decent living in the US
The US federal minimum wage falls significantly short of providing a decent living for individuals across the country. Even in states with higher minimum wages like New York, it is difficult to afford basic necessities like rent, food, and transportation. The gap between the minimum wage and the poverty threshold makes it challenging to escape poverty or achieve financial comfort. While some argue for an increase in the minimum wage to address these issues, the current disparity poses a significant challenge for low-wage workers trying to make ends meet.
