~ San Francisco to be first city in U.S. to set minimum wage over $10

Thanks to a 60% voter approval rate, SF passed  Proposition L in 2003. This provision requires that the city enforce an increase in the minimum wage every year that correlates with inflation.  That means, if you want to get down to dollars and cents, that this New Year’s Day,  SF’s hourly minimum wage will rise from $9.92 to $10.24

It should be required that minimum wage = living wage.

That depends on where you are living. Small towns and rural areas do not require such expensive living. Major Cities may require more expenses, but the budget might not be there for the city itself.

i still don’t know how it’s more than NY..
