Minimum wage goes up today
$5.85 an hour. For 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year - full time, no time off - that's $12,148.
This is a great step forward, but who can live - let alone raise a family - on that?
(And please - never forget that waiters make about 2/3 of that. Your tips are expected to make up the difference.)
