You hear this a lot in nursing too when people talk about how nursing assistants should make more. “But that’s what I make and I have more education and am responsible for more!” Correct, your pay should rise as well.
And the solution to this is always to raise minimum wage, because skilled labor pay must be higher than unskilled labor pay. If minimum wage goes up, other wages must also go up in order to attract and keep workers in more demanding jobs. Raising minimum wage fixes wages across the board.

The rich have gotten us so good at turning on each other… 🙁
