lafollette.wisc.edu Minimum Wage don't cut it. From the above report: >>>Pollin told the story of how religious workers at a Baltimore soup kitchen, about five years ago, noted lengthening food lines. The new people coming were not unemployed; they had jobs, but their pay was too low to afford a reasonable diet.<<< Very sad considering most Minimum Wage workers are adults not teenage kids: • Most minimum wage workers are adults (71%), age 20 and up.[2] Women and minority workers are over-represented among the minimum wage workforce. Slightly less than half (48%) of the minimum wage workforce are full-time workers. above from epinet.org
