Introduction : Rationale For Project
My topic is based on the difficulties of living on Minimum Wage. Minimum wage is supposed to fulfill a "standard way of living". But the question is, does it really fulfill such a big of a burden?
I chose this topic because in the future, me and the people from my generation, will soon step into the workforce, some making higher then minimum wage, a few of us not. I want to bring awareness of how living on minimum wage has such a large impact on your life. Because through an economic stand point, money does make the world go round. My topic matters because as I stated before, people from my generation will soon step into the world of earning minimum wage. And because of this, we will fully realize the hardships and limits minimum wage puts on our life. |
