What does a living wage mean exactly
A living wage means that you have enough money to afford your basic needs, with enough left over to save some money and enjoy life. This number changes depending on the area, for example the living wage in my city is $28/hr but a place like San Francisco has a living wage of $36/hr
A society has a living wage if no one is too poor to live.
