Gravity payments Dan Price (ceo)

You must have read about Gravity payments
Credit card processing company
His ceo Dan Price raised minimum wage in his company to $70,000k per year for all employees that were paid less than that amount

It's not new Henry ford doubled his assembly workers pay to $ 5 a day.

Question is do we need minimum wage to change?

Here's is a wage calculator showing Detroit

So let's say you are two adults and 1 child
One of you is working to live a decent life in Michigan you need $42,000 per year.

If you are earning minimum wage you will end up with $18,700 per year
Two people working minimum wage will not cut it.

You will be close $37,400 per year
