Word: Minimum wage

Robert Reich

If wages had kept pace with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24 an hour. That’s today. Not 5 years from now.

But that means that peeps like Bezos, Gates and peers would be worth a fraction of a percent less overall. We can't have that now can we? That would be less than capitalism...

The real minimum wage is still $0.00 if you lose your job.
