In America, currently, there is a discussion about minimum wage. It's $7.25 where I live.
After taxes, I take home thirty five cents below minimum wage. If I were to work full time, I could hope to make 14,000 a year. That's 3k above the poverty line, which isn't much.
I've seen a lot of things on Facebook about how places like New Zealand have awesome minimum wage regulations and I think San Francisco has a high minimum wage, with both high employment and low unemployment.
