Could we have a multi-pronged approach?<p>Minimum wage of $12 or $15 is great, but in many places still not a true middle class wage, especially for a head of household. But, still it&#x27;s a worthwhile law to put on the books and it does help entry level workers and others.<p>On top of that, union wages are great for those who are in them and actually have enough work to be full time.<p>In addition, to address another group in society, we can empower service providers who are small business owners with state licensing boards to help them control their market segment and truly attain durable middle class living standards.<p>We can have it all. What&#x27;s not to love?
