Hard To Get By On Minimum Wage

On his Facebook page, Randy Stapilus posts: ” Those concerned with benefits going to people who “won’t get up off their asses and work” miss the vast number of people who do work, sometimes two and three jobs, and still can’t get by. Or even come close to anything resembling financial security.” Also, he provides a link to a survey by Upworthy to show how many hours it takes for an individual earning minimum wage to afford a two-bedroom apartment in the various states. In Idaho, it takes 71 hours to afford a two-bedroom apartment.

Question: Do you know someone who is working at two or more minimum or low-wage jobs — and is still struggling to get by?
