Minimum Wage

I definitely agree with the author of the editorial on the minimum wage (“A Decent Wage,” April 27). My father offered me a job for this summer paying slightly less than minimum wage. I know I shouldn’t complain--it’s the best offer I have right now.

The minimum wage should be higher. Workers practically slave at their jobs and then get paid far less than they deserve.

If Republicans are opposed to raising the minimum wage, they should try living on it for awhile.
