It's simple, raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour. $40k+ for full time. Seems fair.

Economically speaking, $20 an hour might be pushing it. Where raising the minimum wage actually does hurt employment is when it makes the pay of "unskilled" labor get too close to "skilled" labor. But $15/hour would probably work well, and then you could look at bumping it up a bit more a few years later.
