Guess what dumbass ?- that's still the bottom of the barrel. If you think you're going to support a family on that - you deserve to be at the bottom - because you're stupid.
Manufacturing has mostly left the U.S. Most new jobs are now service industry jobs, which usually give minimum wage.
If you are going to tell the majority of new job seekers that they are stupid and deserve to be at the bottom, go ahead. That's a not a great strategy for the future.
Paying people wages higher than they are worth - just to soothe somebody else's warped sense of fair play is an even worse strategy.
People should be paid commiserate with the work they do.
