It does make economic sense, Michael Boyd, a consultant at Boyd Group International, told the Wall Street Journal. Its not a $40,000 job to load bags. Cleaning planes is not a $20-an-hour job. But shouldnt performing any sort of labor, whether skilled or unskilled, allow a person to earn a living wage? Dollar amounts depend highly on other factors outside of the workers control, and the use of large numbers to ridicule the situation is worthless to me (i.e. I can earn between 20,000 to over 40,000 pennies every day that I work. SO MANY PENNIES! Am I really worth that much copper-plated zinc?). At the end of the day, it isnt whether your cashier is making $7 or $15 or #50 an hour, it is whether that wage the cashier is earning can afford rent, groceries, utilities, and leisure without reliance on the social safety net.
