Low Wages

Columnist James Zellers’ article, “Third World Wages Won’t Rebuild L.A.” (Commentary, Jan. 28), was right on the mark! If we as a society continue to look for ways to pay our workers less than a living wage, then we have only ourselves to blame when these workers cannot afford to create stable, two-parent households in which to nurture the next generation of citizens in America.

Every corporate executive and every political leader in Southern California should read and study the weighty, obvious material in this short column. I’ll make sure the mayor of my city gets a copy!
