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???"

welfare wages

Its the pay that you get from a job that pays so low that you qualify for some type of government public assistance and if you didn't get the public assistance to go along with the job, you would not be able to subsist on the job alone. These types of jobs typically pay up to $3.00 above minimum wage.

Welfare wages is the type of total economy that the US moves closer to with each passing year.

wage rage

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

Damn it Peter, inflation is at 4% but I still earn as much as last year. I got such a wage rage!
