One of the problems is that the government is reluctant to explain, clearly, what the purpose/goal of the minimum wage is.
Is a single person expected to maintain their life based solely on a minimum wage rate? Dunno. The government does not state that.
That has always been my question about the minimum wage -- what is it intended to do. Without knowing that, it is impossible to evaluate what the minimum wage should nor should not be.
