Every time low income workers demand a small increase like $12- $15 businesses in including big corporations and GOP politicians start freaking out saying that they will not hire or businesses will shut down yet the money that these workers are paid is not even enough to afford own apartment without sharing with other workers. There was a time when it was a taboo for so many people to live in one apartment, but now even 4 workers in a two bedroom apartment is not uncommon because no one can afford an apartment on their own with $9/hr and schedules that change from 20 to 35 hrs a week. Someone bought a 3 bedroom house opposite where I live and there are 5 people who rent the place and 6 cars tightly packed on the long driveway. Not one car is parked on the driveway during day working hours.
