I believe that moving the minimum wage up to $15 dollars an hour is a step in the right direction, however, it's still not a livable wage. Livable wage in Yamhill County is $18.86 for one adult. If it's not a livable wage for one person, it most definitely isn't for a whole family.

I think that amount is unfair as a livable wage- it would be enough to survive but not follow the recommended percentages. It is great that they are raising it, but they should be raising it more.

15 dollars an hour is unfair to have as a minimum wage, it can't support a family and can barley support one person. The minimum amount needed to live comfortably here in mcminnville is $18.86.

This raise in minimum wage would be a fair because all our other cost have been raised and it is hard for some family's to be able to pay so much. If we are raising other costs we should also be raising the minimum wage.

With $15, the minimum wage could afford a lot of typical expenses and make life easier.  It isn't great, that is true. It may not afford certain things too but it could work for many people in this city.

I do not think that $15 an hour is still enough, considering that it take $29 in Yamhill County Oregon to be able to afford a 2 bedroom apartment. There are 2 other counties in Oregon, Wheeler county and Lake county where it would be enough to pay rent, but that is barely being able to pay for it

Yes we think it's a fair amount because it's enough to be able to pay rent and support their families.

$15 although a decent minimum wage is nowhere near enough for a good living wage even for a single adult with no children or other family members. They should raise it at least 3-4 dollars for a decent living wage.

No. Its not a livable wage. It might be barely enough to scrape by, but its not a healthy lifestyle. It would be much better than 12$ an hour, but it would need to be higher to afford healthy foods and comfortable living conditions -Ad Spence

The minimum wage sounds more fair, because it brings the monthly earnings up to 2400 dollars. It isn't enough to pay for rent and food however, and should be raised to AT LEAST 18 dollars to pay for a studio apartment and necessities. -Addysen , Jo, Angie, Lillian

I think $15 an hour would be a fair minimum wage in our state because a lot of families and people cannot make enough money to pay for their rent with 30% of their income, and people have become homeless because they cannot get paid enough to support their families.

Yes I think this would be fair because all the people living on minimum wage can live better if we raise it to 15 dollars.
