Median US household income is $51K. We'd be having a collective national orgasim if it was gonna jump to $1300/week in Jan. nytimes.com The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. A full-time minimum wage employee earns $15,080 annually. In 2012, the poverty threshold for a single person was $11,945. For a family of four with two children it was $22,283. An individual working full time at minimum wage will make enough to live above above the poverty line. However, if he or she is is the sole earner for a family of four, that income will only be 65% of what it would take to meet basic needs. poverty.ucdavis.edu
