This is a crying shame. Less than $20,000 a year, gross, is not a livable wage. The net pay after taxes; state and federal is poverty wages.

They keep voting for republicans.

This is not a living wage for an independent adult.

This isn’t a worker problem, it’s an employer problem.

When I lived in Chattanooga in 2009 my rent fora 1 bedroom in a nice apartment complex was $435/month and minimum wage was $7.25/hr. When I looked up same apartment in 2019 it was $850/month and minimum wage is still $7.25/hr.

Shameful

Down South, dirt-cheap wages can be offered because people think they can live off hunting, fishing, and stealing, or get rich off moon-shine.

Good old corporate welfare...🙄

15 dollar minimum all other workers get cost of living increases again

That is ridiculous.

Owners get rich while workers get screwed.

A conservative linked non profit is claiming that the average income in West Virginia is $41,500 a year . The truth is the trump administration cut funding to government agencies that track it. The income here has steadily declined from 2015 and its $33,500

Just like Iowa. Tons of restaurant jobs open. All low pay, not benefits.

All jobs should be required to be posted with minimum guaranteed hours and pay. And job searches for full time jobs shouldn't be mixing in part time, per diem, temp, commission based and gig work. It is hard enough to fill in dozens of job applications online and find out it's not even a full time job

Yep 👍🏼

Not even enough for rent, and utilities so forget about the rest (foods, transportation, health insurance, phones, internet, miscellaneous.) You better don't have a child, or get sick and have an emergency. You can't afford a car, because you have to pay insurance and repairs on a 20G.

Because they are

Sorry but they should have never allowed him near an elected office. Mean Joe Manchin always put his donors' and his personal interests ahead of his constituents and he said point blank during his last primary, he's not changing and you should vote him out.

Thank you, Dr.Barber and the Poor People’s Campaign for demanding better from Joe Manchin and our elected officials.

Speaking truth to power, as always!! Looking forward to watching the people bring the street heat tomorrow!

Go for it, voters!!

I know & isn't that sad. They need to put him OUT of office!

Manchin needs to work for his constituents and not the republicans. Get Rid of the Filibuster and pass HR 1 and HR 4 with or without the republicans. Lets get these passed.. 👏🇺🇸👏

How can I join your campaign???

Manchin doesn’t care.

💯💯💯

He doesnt care..hes getting paid.

Former state chair of ALEC. He's trying to bore from within.
