This was a project started in 2015 when I was working several sub-living wage jobs to survive.
It seems that most people against a living wage also have other assumptions about who works in retail, food service, etc.
If kept up for inflation since the 70s the minimum wage would be MUCH higher than what it is today in the USA.
There are MANY other striking aspects to income inequality but I thought this might be something I could do.
The chart below applies to the Raleigh-Durham NC area in 2015
