MIT put together a living wage calculator a while back so I was curious to see what type of numbers it comes up with.

It narrows it down to the county/parish level.

For EBR Parish the living wage it calculates for a single adult is $9.57 an hour.

The calculation is based on working 2080 hours a year (or a full 40 hour week for all 52 years for the mathematically challenged)

Link above if anyone is interested.

So that being said, would you have a problem with the state of Louisiana raising the minimum wage to say 10 dollars an hour?



Do you think every job is worthy of a living wage?
