Millennium Wage


Poverty is a problem here in America too. Many people who make minimum wage can barely afford and apartment and other basic necessities like a fridge or a microwave. Imagine having a child or another person living with you when you can barely provide for yourself.

Having a minimum wage of $7.65 isn’t the problem, the problem is that a lot of companies are trying to increase their profit margins to an extent that the people that make minimum wage can no longer afford a lot of things. More people need to be able to purchase basic things than can right now and it starts with the distributors.

  2. Very good topic. How you look at inflation affecting it is very important, but I would worry about who you can interview for this.
