I'm 32 and I made 8$/hr working part time while in college. The equivalent today would be 10.48. 50% more buying power sounds like a lot to me but maybe I'm old fashioned. I didn't clarify that by 'young adults' I meant 18-23, looking for money for beer and gas.
I'm not trying to insinuate that $15.20 is a living wage, but to be washing dishes or cooking 20 hours a week for beer money it seems pretty good to me. I can't even find decent servers and they do 35-60$/hr in tips on the weekend. Thats insane money and I still can't find people who are reliable and motivated.
I just hope the end of CERB will bring people back to work. I also hope the line of thinking that my restaurant should support every employee, their family and set them up for retirement goes out the window too but I doubt it.
