Has anybody considered lately, even with the minimum wage increase, what it would be like to live on $1,160 per month. Please show me how that would work. If rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $575 per month (the average in our area), how would you provide transportation, food, and clothing? What about utilities? Is such a wage structure driving more people into poverty?
