Also this is ALL taken BEFORE public aid, for purposes of definition. So . . . it appears that minimum wage is no death sentence (and yes, I'm walking you into this one).
You've written a lot, but you're not really proving anything - I'd like some support for your assertions.

That was a typo, it should read that most hospitals employ their unskilled staff AT MIN. WAGE, not under.
The thing is that most people who work for min. wage aren't single. After taxes, their take home pay does put them well under the poverty line.
