Session 7

I was so surprised while reading this section but, in Atlanta 63% of hourly jobs pay less than $10.50 an hour and the other 29% pay less than $7.50 an hour. With these amounts it is almost impossible for a family of four (which is this typical American family) to live above the poverty line. There needs to be a set wage that would accommodate to the family of four. They should also consider raising the hourly wage so people can be above the poverty line. I feel if the government would look into those things it could help people get above the poverty line.
