I've scanned this thread and it appears to have missed one basic factor. Inflation.
The real dollar value of the minimum wage peaked in 1968 and has been the decline since. It's no surprise that minimum wage workers are struggling.

You expect people to stuggle when they do a minimum wage job. In 1968, the "minimum wage" really was not the true minimum like now. An awful lot of folks did not make that much.
