Archbishop Wenski and Fr. Snyder explained that in the current economic system, “many of our families find it increasingly difficult to afford basic needs, forcing some to take multiple jobs or, in desperation, even seek out predatory loans” because they lack the resources to support their families.

Emphasizing the importance of family, they pointed to research suggesting that “as much as 25 percent of workers who would benefit from a minimum wage increase are parents.”

“A full-year, full-time worker making the minimum wage does not make enough money to raise a child free from poverty,” the representatives said. “Because the minimum wage is a static number and does not change, each year it becomes more difficult for workers making the minimum wage to survive.”

Policies that promote decent work and a just wage would honor both work and society, they continued.
