Listen "Ep.40- Minimum wage and the virus of poverty "
Episode Synopsis
In the western world, poverty is an epidemic amongst low-wage workers. Introducing, extending and increasing the minimum wage are just some of the ways in which we can face this social crisis. In the United States, the federal minimum wage amounts to 7 dollars and 25 cents per hour, and it hasn’t gone up since 2009 – despite inflation and the increase in productivity. While the current presidential candidates seem to want to dodge the issue, the virus of poverty continues to wreak havoc amongst the invisible army of working poor.
