Raise minimum wage so we can live better!
Why is this important?
This petition is for all the citizens of South Carolina who don't think that minimum wage is enough. The current minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. You can't survive on that.
If you get paid twice a month, and you don't work 40 hours a week, you're looking at a $250-$400 per paycheck, depending on taxes. Then you have rent anywhere from $300-$500, light bill, water bill, car payment, and groceries. And that doesn't even include money for gas and lunch at work. What if you're going to school to get a higher paying job? It doesn't add up.
Just remember, these workplaces need us to be a part of their companies, so they need to pay us more. I get paid $9, and it's still not enough.
Please listen that it isn't fair to those of us who work our butts off to have a better life but can't, because the pay just isn't enough. Please sign and share!!
