The minimum wage is not satisfactory at all and there has been protest several on this matter in my country but all to no avail...

At least people don protest their.... Here I don't see such protest or people standing for their rights.

Looks like i inspired a threadstorm :)
What country are you from?
Here in Brazil, as I said, the minimum wage is shameful.

Yeah, Got the idea from that thread!

I'm from Pakistan..

It's insane... Crypto can beat that without much effort. As I have said before... once people wake up things will change drastically.

It's true and Relateable.

Ain't see no people waking up anytime soon.. they're like too busy with their jobs and struggles.

Gap between the rich & poor keeps increasing which is why it's important to get educated, work hard , invest when possible etc. Unfortunately, some people have to do the dirty jobs. I hope at least everyone has food, water and shelter!

Even educated, hard working poor exists... The whole system is like made to make rish more rish smh.... True, dirty jobs and corrupt politicians everywhere... Wish so, everyone do have these necessary resources!

Minimum bare expenses for whole month is more than $150 for a middle class or $100+ for lower class... Upper class? They're chill..

Ps. Without Adding electricity bills, water bill, gas bill... (4/5)

Just to rent a house the cheapest you can find here in Brazil, at least in my state, is the equivalent of $100USD and a simple 2 bedroom house is at least $180~200USD

Wut... That's too expensive for someone living here.

A Labour earns around $6 a Day ---- yes it's True!

KFC or Mac = $80 a month --- shocked?

Others= $100 - $150 or more depends on job, status blah blah.

With the rising costs of living, it is tough especially for those who are earning minimum wages

Ain't see a single person satisfied with their income & everyone is just trying to survive.

Leaving dreams behind, taking responsibility of providing family...most people go abroad and that's kind of my goal too.. What about yours? (5/5)

It's tough indeed and people look for greener pastures to make ends meet. Are you planning to go overseas soon?

It is very sad when a work is often not enough to pay basic bills and provide food for the family. Unfortunately this is a reality in many countries.
Here I work in 2 jobs and many times I still need to get some Hive posts to pay the bills.

Cost of living is 10x more higher than Wage!

A 15KG wheat 🌾 = $12, 2x more expensive than a labour per day wage!

Travel expenses with petrol, transport etc...still costly, same with other groceries and stuff!

I am not. However, what made me pissed off all the more is the pretension that politicians can do something to increase the minimum wage.

Yea bud... At least peeps should protest or make them increase wages but nah everyone likes slavery of gov etc.

Most people are clueless about what makes wages increase.
