It’s this change in dynamics that fuels the argument that minimum wage should increase to a living wage.

One of the reasons that I feel this way is because with what I am getting paid right now it is hard for me to pay my bills. $7.35 is not enough to live off of when you have a lot to pay for.…
Armstrong believes that the fact that no one can agree on what a "living wage" is means that the term is completely random. He believes that minimum wage is “a legally mandated minimum that employers must pay employees regardless of all relevant facts pertaining to their businesses.” According to Armstrong, if the government forces employers to pay employees more than their work is worth to employers, then employers will either stop hiring new employees or fire those who don 't work harder than the legally mandated minimum wage. Because workers are getting paid a higher wage anyway, they will have no motivation to work hard or attempt to get promotions. Ari Armstrong offers one half perspectives on minimum…

As we add together the cost of living today it shows that a minimum wage should be higher. This would make sense why to increase the wage for Americans. But if we increase the wage and then our economy inflates and the value of a dollar decreases and our cost of living goes up. If our cost of living goes up then we are back to where we started, wanting to increases the minimum wage so we can afford the cost of living. This problem is a never ending tenacious circle that we will keep going through if we increase…
