Maybe CalPERs has cadillac plans, but regular family plans aren’t much different.
On a hourly rate, those CalPERS plans run $9.65/hr.
That’s our real problem. Obviously, minimum wage isn’t going to cut it. That’s the hard truth we need to address. $25/hr isn’t going to cut it. Not just in Detroit, everywhere.
Anything less is in reality, a starvation diet. People need sustainable wages. Jobs that can be done profitably with a sustainable wage need to go away.
