How Many of you survives with minimum wage?
1 Like
I haven’t worked since 2012 because I can’t survive on minimum wage. I couldn’t survive on it in 2012 either, I had to live with my dad.
I earn a few dollars more than minimum wage which is why I can survive. 
Otherwise the total amount from disability benefits from the government is just under a full-time job at minimum wage.

I wasn’t able to make ends meet on it so I changed careers.
Only a few? I’m sorry, that’s awful. Best of luck getting the amount increased.
I’m exagerating.

I feel like the gov should have more programs like they should reward companies that hire disabled people with tax breaks.
People always complain about us disabled people taking money from welfare etc . Wth? Maybe if disabled people were given a fair shot in this world.
8/10 employers of I told them I have sz right away would have a prejudice against me though they wouldn’t say it because they could get sued
Most disabled people can work a bit atleast but it’s hard to find a job. Government incentives could fix this I feel. I don’t want a hand out, I want a hand up.

I heard here there is a program where the government pays a portion of your salary to your employer so they’re more likely to hire disabled people. They also find the job for you and its more guaranteed. I got it through my pdoc, he referred me to them and they called me.

It depends on the city or region where you are. Your pdoc should know about it, ask him about it.
