A question for Americans..?
Answer:
I live in Missouri, and the minimum wage here is $5.15 per hour.
This Dept. of Labor website shows the minimum wage in each US state:

$5.15 in Oklahoma, unless you are a waiter/waitress. Then, it's $2.13.
$5.15 -Nebraska
$ 7.50 / hr. Oregon.

We have just as many "poor" people as anywhere else.
They'd still be poor if they were making $20 an hour.. It's a mindset, a behaviour that keeps people in poverty.
I propose that the new minimum wage should be $39.50 an hour. WHY NOT?
Minimum wage laws are capricious and arbitrary.
PA=$5.15
