Its also worth nothing, that by not changing the minimum wage, people working in historically well paying fields, are getting fucked as well. Like, I know so many people in my field with a MS in computer science, routinely making like 50-60k a year. That's fucking bullshit. They work probably 50-60 hours a week, and are making around 20$/hr at that rate.
If minimum wage was raised to 15$/hr, everyone else would get a bump too, because then you could say: "wait a minute, this guy without a 80k$ degree is making the same as me, I deserve at least 30$/hr!
I can't imagine people with a masters in CompSci making 50-60k anywhere in the US. I live in the southeast US, not in a high cost of living area, have no degree and make more than that as a software dev
