not being paid a living wage
It was reported that the facility was Elk Brand Manufacturing. Employees there at the time reported "unclean facilities" and "no benefits, paid vacation, or room for advancement." A young mother said she worked for minimum wage. Kentucky's minimum wage in 2012 was $7.25 — same as it is today.

Minimum wage for a full year is nearly 5 times more than $3500 a year in the lowest paying states (still not enough).
Also, Costco pays well above minimum wage.

My MAGA congressman doesn't want to upset his corporate donors and raise the minimum wage. It is shameful that we haven't raised the federal minimum wage since I was making $7.25 at McDonald's 15 years ago.
Everyone deserves a living wage.
Join the fight. Send this to someone who should vote.

It's outrageous that the UK Labour government is continuing its policy of age-based wage discrimination despite previously promising to abolish it

3. Is it the case that this person (unemployed, receiving PIP and HB) faces little/no incentive to take a minimum wage job? That they are out-earning what they would earn if they had a minimum wage job? If not, why imply that they do? This is Daily Mail not FT standards.

Neoliberal trope scapegoating the poor, old, sick, disabled.
Silent on corporate welfare, Inequitable distribution of wealth,
Profiteering causing poverty,
Full state pension less than 50% of minimum wage.
People relying on benefits because work doesn't pay.
Tax abuse by corporations and rich.

Britain's welfare ratchet.
My column for @financialtimes.com. Political incentives, rising expectations on the state & deeper economic failings make the UK's benefits system hard to rein in.
