I am convinced that the lowest allowable wage should be a living wage. Permitting anyone to hire for less is agreeing to have tax payers subsidize the cheap bastards. If the minimum wage was a living wage perhaps it would shame any architect firm into paying more than that.
Hell other countries don't even bother making a living wage a condition of working at all. Permitting a situation where so many people live in poverty is creating conditions ripe for crime and social unrest. Sometimes I wish we weren't such an exceptional sucky country.
