Adding to Colette's post 53, the minimum wage earners are often obliged to travel far to work (in the sense that many found an available job miles from home and were fortunate to get it).
So this means having to drive a car, with all the expenses attached, or travel by train or bus, which also costs quite a bit, in order to get to work and back.
That could amount to one, two or three hours wages a day!!!
Is that realistic?
