      There is a book you should read called Nickle and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. It’s a journalist account of trying to live for I think 3 months on minimum wage in the US. It’s a light quick read and you might appreciate the perspective.

      Equally importantly it is from 2001 and $5.15 then is equivalent to $9 today, almost 25% higher than the current federal minimum wage
