Could YOU live on $5.85 an hour for a week?
Jul 24th, 2007 by Michelle
For the first time in 10 years the federal minimum wage is being raised 75 cents. Big deal! Not many people that I know can survive on that amount.Jobacle.com Minimum Wage Challenge is inviting people from all walks of life to spend the week of August 20, 2007 living on minimum wage - and blog about it. The goal is to raise awareness about how little money $12,000 (before taxes) a year actually is.The Jobacle.com website has some great podcasts that I subscribed to today. Everyone that reads this blog needs to download Show #65: Channel the power of calm! “Five simple ways to be a Buddhist at work.” Find out where you fit in The Creative Circle of Life. The music is pretty cool also. This site will be added to my “Blogs I read”.
1. Do not take life. Do not take the life of anything.
2. Do not steal at work or anywhere, including time.
3. Do not engage in sexual misconduct – spend more time with your significant other.
4. Do not speak mistruths. Do not gossip.
5. No drugs or alcohol. Glass of wine ok.
They have other really great content that you can not find on other job sites. Download some podcasts and listen to them on your iPod. That’s what I am doing!
