The data is compiled from many people, representing those actual workers. People are not just going to take the word of you and your friend. Show us a 3rd party source.
Again that is a sense of entitlement on your part, data scientists make BIG money to provide this sort of information. I would be curious how often having that level of granular data actually changes the outcome of the argument or if its just a strategy of the antagonist to bog down their opponent in bolony because it does not fit with their narrative.
Why dont you provide the data. The person I know is in a very high position in govt and incredibly competent so I dont see this granular data providing a different outcome. Do SOME people in switzerland make less far less than the equivalent to $20 /hr probably but its not to the extent as in the USA.
The USA is in a really bad sitaution where ALOT of people are making really little money (not just lazy burn outs and drug attics at this point)
You can use DOL web site to get general trends of how many poeple are making less than X. You dont sharpen the pencil unless you have to ... or you have an agenda to bog the other side down because you got yours and you want to obfuscate the reality of the siutatoin because you know the fix puts you in a worse situation.
Maybe people like you in the gop should have fought a little harder against H1X visa expansion, boarder immigration, human trafficing for labor and off shoring but here we are and we still dont have an embargo against china becuase you like the cheap stuff and profits. Well all these people are not just going to disappear into the night and the time to pay the piper is comming.
A lot of companies raised the minimum wage they pay their employees when the tax cuts were passed. Bank of America at the time promised to raise their minimum wage to $20 by 2020, which they did, even in areas that are low cost of living. So many people benefited from the run up in the market through their retirement accounts. Tax cuts are always a good thing because it means more people keeping more of their own money and spending it how they see fit.

No, the sense of entitlement is clearly on your part. You also have a habit of throwing numbers around without any facts to back them up.
Actually the minimum wage in Germany is 9.19 euros and the average fast food worker earns 10 euros per hour, but whether it's 9 or 10 you need to look at the local cost of living, right?
A one bedroom apartment in Frankfurt rents for 250 Euros and 846 Euros in Stuttgart. In Phoenix the minimum wage is $11 and the median rent for a one bedroom apartment is $1171. In Miami the minimum wage is $8.46 and the median 1 bedroom apartment rents for $1,995.
So..you tell me if you were a fast food worker where would you have a better chance of being able to afford a place to live, in Germany, or in the US?
So the number reported on Glassdoor is around the minimum and rounds to 9 Euro. It is basically what I said and linked to. I have no idea where you are getting your rent number for Frankfurt. See these links:

Frankfurt (Oder) is a small town in the east of Germany, near the border with Poland. The cost of living in this place is really reasonable. For instance, if you look for a one-bedroom apartment in Frankfurt (Oder) with a bit of luck you can find one at the center of the city with a monthly rent of only €250. https://www.studying-in-germany.org/...ent-in-germany
And you can't escape the fact that while rent in Germany is cheaper than in the US, in some cases it's 1/4 - 1/3 what an equivalent apartment in the US would be, and a wage of 10 euros per hour ($11.08 USD) is higher than that paid in most states.

That does not fit the gop narrative though and it’s “socialism”, even though it Isent. And hope abor extended unemployment and difficult processes to do mass lay offs.

Can you read? The rent you quoted is from Frankfurt Oder, not Frankfurt (the major city). Frankfurt Oder is a small town near the boarder with Poland. Look further down the article you linked to and you will sent the rent for Frankfurt (the major city).

You didn’t even read the link by 2sleepy to catch his/her error.
Expecting free wotk is entitlement. If you disagree with my posts, whatever, but I’m under no obligation to do free work because you say so
No one is asking for free work. Instead, if you make a claim, be prepared to back it up. Instead, you just see, to make it up as you go. Tell us again about those $30 cheeseburgers in Germany and Switzerland.
