My state has the minimum wage set at the federal minimum wage (7.25/hr) which is not livable in any area of the state. They even passed laws so our mostly Democratic-leaning urban city can't raise the minimum wage past the state minimum wage. The cost of living in that city is higher than my local area, where you can't find a 1br apartment for less than $900/month The federal wage has to be raised federally or red states will never do it.
