Something else that has changed.. At one point minimum wage actually kept people out of poverty, meaning even if you worked at the lowest legal wage with a family of three, you were not in poverty. Today a person working at the lowest legal wage with one child whom works 40hrs a week, 52 weeks a year is living in poverty.
The reason for this, is because minimum wage has not kept up with inflation.
