We have a poultry/pig processing plant in town that pays $14/hr starting. Which is less than 2 x the minimum wage. Which isn’t even remotely close to a living wage in any neighboring counties 2 deep at least. I eat at a restaurant where a guy works his second job that he needs to survive. According to him (I can’t nor do I care to confirm) he lives with his girlfriend and two roommates, the roommates also all work at the same facility and also all have 2nd jobs.
