In any case minimum wage is not and has never been intended to be a living wage, nor has it ever been a living wage in reality. That was true in 1975 and it is still true today.

This is true here is something of interest living wage calculator for each state and county in the US.in my county the living wage for 1 adult is $8.23 and I know for a fact that most entry level jobs pay that or fairly close to it.
