Could you get by on the minimum wage?

Could you get by on the minimum wage?

California's minimum wage is $6.75 an hour. Although our cost
of living is sky-high, we have the lowest minimum wage of any
state on the West Coast. Our minimum wage is not enough to allow
a working family to afford basics like housing and healthcare in
California.

Assembly Bill 48 (Lieber) would increase our minimum wage by $1
over two years and then index it to inflation. It is is set to
be heard on the Assembly Floor this week. Legislators are
pressured by the Chamber of Commerce to oppose even modest
increases in the minimum wage. Please take a minute and remind
your legislator that you can't get by on $6.75.
