OK that could be ticky. Perhaps people in the situation you describe could go to evening classes to gain some more qualifications and then apply for jobs which pay a bit higher. However I suppose some bosses/companies could afford to pay more but they would rather keep more for themselves.
If the minimum wage is increased surely everything will go up to compensate/pay the wage bill and therefore you're back where you started. Makes more sense to forget about the minimum wage and get a well paid job.
Minimum wage is currently (2013) £6.31 an hour, a week (40 hrs) is £252.40 or a salary of £13125. Which you could say isn't very good, but you could get a job that pays more.
I'm all for helping people, I just don't like people that are capable of work but want to be on the dole. I know many people like this, so no need anyone saying these people don't exist. So how much is the minimum living wage? £20K, £30K?
How much is a living working wage?
Yeah but I'm thinking, why am I working full time with a long commute to be taxed so much, when there are so many people receiving benefits who don't want to work. Just isn't right. IDS hasn't gone anyway near far enough to sort this utter p!ss take out.
I just don't want money spent on people that want to be on the dole. They just keep having kids to get more dole, must be stopped.

Will the groynes on Dawlish beach and Dawlish Warren beach be replaced / repaired as part of the £8.35M project by The Environment Agency and Teignbridge District Council to replenish the sand at Dawlish Warren? I recall learning in school about beaches being washed away by longshore drift and how groynes help to prevent this. Photograph by Teignbridge District Council
