Living Wages vs minimum wages

[longislander]

Any thoughts on this or different prospective`s would be welcome.

Addressing minimum wage:
Relevant to what/which relevant economy?

A "minimum wage" in NY city versus a minimum wage in Laconia must be different, just utilizing common sense. It should not be difficult to surmise Laconia will have a lower minimum wage, if the wage is supposed to be utilized in a minimum living status.

Living wage is established by a person's will, to some standard of living.

How can there be a rational national minimum standard wage, when states have various economic standards of living. Is the poorest standard of living acceptable, to the highest living standard state?

A national minimum wage law makes sense ... if the wage is set by each individual state for that state, not the federal government.

State market place demands, will adjust wages to each state's economy.
