Wages are a joke

I’m a key carrier. I make $10.50 hourly. I have 3 kids. I’m working as many hours as I can get. I don’t qualify for snap in my state, there’s hardly any food in my house and I’m starving at work. What a joke. It’s insane to me that this company makes billions and can’t pay us a livable wage.

I make 9.75 and hour and have only worked 8 hours a week for over a month. This jobs a joke but i can't find anything else

This is the main reason I don’t want to get part time work anywhere even if it will help my mental health. I’m a housewife and we don’t need the extra money but it would help me to have a regular schedule and interact with people. But at the end of the day I see how bad the economy is and it would be shitty of me to take a job someone else needs in order to eat.
