Answer:

Although $15 minimum wage won't cover costs for many Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Congressional Budget Office study last year found a $15 federal minimum wage would increase pay for 17 million workers who earn less than that and possibly another 10 million who earn slightly more. It would cause 1.3 million other workers to lose their jobs, according to the study's median estimate.

Question:

IS a $15 minimum wage enough? too much? Explain

Answer:

Yes, 15$ is a perfect minimum wage.

Explination:

Working for 6 hours and only getting 10$ (10$ a hour) sounds like insanity

now 15*10=150 a day is enough to pay rent for minimum wage
