How much is min wage in your area?

[Anonymous]

Here in Turkey, it is now $655 per month in 2026.

And 60% of the people work for min wage in Turkey.

Here in the USA in Connecticut, minimum wage is set at $16.94 per hour or $678 per month and $35,200 annually. That is far from the $130,000 the average family of four needs to cover basic needs in this area. You'd need to work 3.7 jobs at minimum wage here to raise a family. Such is wealth inequality in the USA.

I don't know who determines this money shit rule around the world? These governments always want war, where we regular people always struggle a lot to live a basic life. Such a sad world. Who prints the money?

[OneViewpoint]

Governments print the currency. Unfortunately the governments have all been corrupted by the ultra wealthy and the system only works for 1% of the population. The 99% really need to focus our anger and wrath on the 1%.

[Asker]

This money system is the most complicated thing, I could never figure out. But all I know is, it is all an illusion to make us slaves to those 1%

I believe it's going up to 12.71 here for over 21 year olds.

Rent is at least £900 per month here.

The state I live in (looked it up) is $1256 USD per month. They are trying to pass a law that would raise minimum wage to $2600 per month.

[Asker]

Is $1300 enough to live there?

[Abbycado]

It is not ideal given cost of living. Minimum wage is an issue and why my state is trying to change it.

I’m in school, so it isn’t a problem, but that would be tough to survive on.

[Asker]

I guess even rent price is starting at a silly price such as $600+ there.

[Abbycado]

Oh yes. It can be that for a relatively small apartment.

[Asker]

Same here. The salary is $655 and one bedroom apartment is starting at $600

[Abbycado]

That’s nuts.
