de facto minimum wage

The lowest hourly rate most people would accept to make the job worth their time. It is higher than the government's minimum wage, which is always too low to afford basic needs.

Company: "We offer a competitive rate above minimum wage! $27/hr"
Candidate: "meh, barely the de facto minimum wage in Sydney. I get more on welfare doing nothing"
Company: "Why does noone want to work for us???"

Wage

Wage can be a jerk and an asshole if you tempt him. He’s very sarcastic all of the time, but if you’re one of his friends then he’ll know when you’re being serious. He’s good to have conversations with when you just need someone to make you laugh, or angry.

Wage: I hate you
Me: I love you too
Wage: In your dreams
Me: <3

When you get really angry because there's inflation, but your nominal wage doesn't adjust

Minimum Wage

A law put in place to defend restaurant workers and convenience store workers from union-busting tactics spearheaded by republicans and corporate lobbyists that requires them to pay their employees a living wage.

They want to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour
