We are always talking about minimum wage, but looking at this article! The people who are on minimum wage are part timers and employers refused to increase their working hours because they do not want to pay the workers a full time rate!

Because the fact is full timers do not get minimum wage!

After six months, he received a raise, to $8.85 an hour, and in January he'll get another, when the state's minimum wage climbs to $9.15—but raises don't do much good.

Kulsic only gets 33 to 35 hours a week, and struggles to pay for heat, food, and transportation. He typically rides a bike the three miles to work, but his bike broke, so these days, he walks or takes the bus. He’s asked for more hours—or more consistent hours, at least—but his employer, whose name he asked me not to use, doesn’t want to give any worker more than 35 hours because then they’ll be classified as full-time, he said.

So full timers get more?they also get healthcare and benefits.

Anyway he can always look for a second job.there's some jobs in Singapore that pays by the day.
 
Singapore is the only country in the world that its leaders receiving millions of salary but its people are working like slaves because of Lim Swee Say slogan: cheap cheaper cheaperest salary
