You know what would help a lot to reduce the wage gap? Raising the minimum wage.
There are a lot of women and people of color in minimum and low-wage jobs, and raising their pay to a living wage ($15/hour) would go a long way in addressing income inequality.
So I did a bit of a Google and turns out American minimum wage is around like $10 an hour?? Y'all are complaining yet the minimum wage in the UK is like £5 an hour? Are you guys serious?
The minimum wage in the US is $7.25, which is equivalent to £4.62.
The minimum wage in the UK is £6.50, which is equivalent to $10.20
