Has increasing the minimum wage in Seattle improved the lives of those making minimum wage? You dummy. It’s all about supply and demand. Seattle is the fastest growing larger city in America. That’s despite the high minimum wage. Amazon currently has 9000 job openings. I was there 3 months ago. All you see in some areas are apartment buildings being built. It’s just now showing some signs of housing catching up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motonoggin Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Let's say I make $1300/wk. I get a 15% raise. Now I make $1495/wk Let's say my rent is $300/wk. My rent then goes up 15%. It is now $345/wk. My budget before: 1300-300= $1000 After: 1495-345=$1150 Do you even math, bro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say you made minimum wage in Seattle in 2016.... 13$ an hour or 520$ a week... you get 80$ a week increase... 15$ an hour.... your rent goes from 2000$ a month to $2340. 2 bed apartment in a city with the highest vacancy rate in years.... your entire raise goes to rent which is paid to the rich that endorsed the minimum wage increase by the government.
