A job is not supposed to allow blah, blah, and blah. A job is an agreement between and employer and an employee whereby the employee provides labor and the employer generally provides monetary compensation for that labor. If the employer does not offer one what they think they are worth they do not have to take the job. And if an employee demands more than the employer thinks the employee is worth they do not have to hire them.
Wrong. That's why we, and most other civilized bastions, have a "minimum wage".
Another day, another batch of angry conservatives complaining about people trying to get paid a living wage. I missed the memo where burger flippers deserve to starve.

No, we have minimum wage because people feel good about having good intentions. Minimum wage will never provide the purchasing power that its proponents wish it to. The market corrects itself by decreasing the purchasing power of the additional fiat currency so that those earning minimum wage are still receiving the same market value that they had previously. You could set it at a 1000 dollars an hour...does not matter in the least. Those earning 40000 dollars a week would still have trouble paying the rent.
Industry wise..education and health care employ more min wage workers than retail and leisure.
That's not true on a percentage basis and is highly unlikely on a raw basis. Retail and leisure workers do not need education to do their jobs, but healthcare and education workers do. Even a hospital lackey is going to be making about $11 in the food court.
