Georgia is No. 1 state for business, but can workers afford to live here? Georgia has fallen behind most states by refusing to raise its minimum wage above the federal rate of $7.25 per hour. The state should do right by its workers.

$2.13 an hour, if you get tips.
$7.25, if not.

#Georgia's #MinimumWage is yet another grotesque demonstration of how much the Republicans controlling our state don't care about how much people are struggling.

It's time to end #corporatewelfare.

#NYC #minimumwage may go up.

Hot take: the size of your business should have no bearing on what your minimum wage rate is. A small business should be required to pay the same minimum wage as the big dogs, and if they can't afford to do that, then they can't afford to be in business. #minimumwage

The problem is jobs not homes.

Her Life

It is Women’s History month.

Here, Francis Perkins, is the person responsible for #socialsecurity #minimumwage #collectivebargaining

And so much more.

It is women who will lead us to a better country … and world.

Who else is ready for a #matriarchy? #womenshistory

Maybe #Pensions and the #MinimumWage should be linked to MPs’ pay 😉

Because the #StatePension is currently only £998pcm (could you live on that?)
Council Tax where I live is £110 (Band A, £128 for B) for a single person
Energy use tends to be higher for #Pensioners
For comparison the #MinimumWage x 40hr week = takehome pay £1,817 & can be topped up with Tax Credits

#FrancesPerkins was confirmed in her cabinet post as #SecretaryOfLabor on #ThisDayInHistory in 1933, the same day as the inauguration of #FDR. Perkins was the first female Cabinet minister, championing the 40-hour week, #MinimumWage, unemployment relief, and #UniversalHealthCare.

$174k a year, Cadillac healthcare and all the perks, for what is essentially a part time job.

I think they should all make #minimumwage & be able to ELECT #ObamaCare premium levels.

The Shrinking Margins of Boulder County Farming Boulder County farmers are facing a affordability crisis. We reached out to hear directly from local farmers on what needs to change.

On Boulder County’s backroads, farmers say they’re being squeezed. As minimum wage rises and housing shortages persist, are county policies hurting local farms?

These fuckers are all so damn OLD. I’m not voting for another fuck that doesn’t have three things:

1. #Term limits
2. #Minimumwage to $22 an hour
3. #Age Be under 65 fucking years old to run.

We are in this quagmire partly because of the above 3 things.

Hot take, but part time should be livable

I don't want to work 40 hours a week just to have food and shelter and stuff, that's stupid

This should end the debate..

According to recent reporting from FoodForward SA, food insecurity is significantly higher in women-led households. 
Of course it is. When your income barely covers transport and rent, food becomes the shock absorber. Meals get skipped. Portions shrink.
