  • Episode 16: Livable Wage
    2021/08/02

    Host Sammy Ross and guest Marc Santos discuss the topic of Livable Wage.  ​​Minimum wage hasn’t gone up nationally in over a decade, while cost of living continues to climb.  On this episode we discuss the difference between minimum wage and livable wage, why tipped workers are most at risk for wage theft, and how inflation can work with or against our wages.
