I disagree. Who and what defines "make a living?" There are families of five living on less than $40,000 a year. There are families of two that think living on $100,000 a year is impossible.

A job is worth X based on economics, not based on "what should or shouldn't be." If "minimum wage" requirements force the economics to not work out, the job simply won't exist.
