Thank you for your thoughts, are you a compensation specialist? If not then I dont really care about what YOU think a livable wage is.

Not to mention, $16 an hour beats sitting home on your couch wouldn't you think?

That's 33k, which for a single person w/no children would be viable in the Tampa Bay area, at least. Figure 70% of the gross salary (taking out 20% for taxes and 10% for benefits.) Comes to $1925 per month. Is it great? No.

But there are locations where it could work.

Hi- good for you ! You tell this guy, what is he thinking? $16.00 is almost 2 x minimum wage, it's more than what alot of people are getting these days. Be thankful for every penny.
