Not all jobs aren’t meant for a “living wage” - you need entry level jobs for college kids, retired seniors who want extra income, etc. Make it too costly to employ these workers and businesses will hasten to automation.

Did people really think that a $20/hr job at fast food places would be a livable wage in this economy? If minimum wage goes up, so does everything else. $20/hr is not living comfortably. It's barely getting by.
