Oprah is taking on the minimum wage topic. Could you live 30 days on just $5 an hour? For millions of people, this is reality. No credit, no savings…life on minimum wage.
Being aired today I think. Go here to view short video and read more about 'Inside the Lives of People Living on Minimum wage'.
Also, one of Oprah's recommended books 'The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 30 Million Americans By Beth Shulman' here.
Dispels some of the 'myths' of low wage jobs:
that most low-wage workers are teenagers, immigrants, or high-school dropouts
that being in low-wage employment is a stepping stone to a better position
that making bad jobs into good jobs requires insurmountably difficult reforms
that low-wage work is always low-skilled
