also wondering what percentage of minimum wage workers are women of color.

According to this article, 62.7% of all minimum wage workers are women. Of those, 15.9% are Black, 18.8% are Latina, and 3% are Asian (with 1.2% as “other”).

I don’t know how its possible to have forgotten that there’s a recession going on right now. A lot of people are having to think laterally just to keep food on the table, given inflation and the looming unemployment rate…its not exactly a market where one can be too choosy.

Raising the minimum wage ALWAYS WORKS. I don’t get this at all. It always helps in the end.
