And since when is $12.50/hr a "living wage"?

12.50 X 30 hours per week (thanks ObamaCare) X 52 weeks = $19,500

I honestly believe that the minimum wage should be enough that if you work 2000 hours a year, you're above the poverty line - Will Hunting Jul 9, 14:13 3

  - $10 an hour to me is a living wage...I could care less how many hours a company gives me as long as it's consistent - Will Hunting Jul 9, 14:25

Throw out that bs 30 hour "employer fearing Obamacare" garbage and you get most hill staffers and they barely can live near their jobs -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 13:59
i've lived in L.A. for around that several of the years that i've been here - charlie Jul 9, 13:58
but they can get 5 of those jobs and make almost $100k if they weren't so damn lazy -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 13:55
It's whatever the bureaucrats feel like at the moment. BTW Oregon does this type of shit too. So we aren't immune from these dumb laws. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:49
well only if your employer limits you to less than 30 because they fear obamacare, then yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 13:47
