With all due respect, many people (including many of the current "Essential workforce"), live paycheck to paycheck because the cost of living has far outpaced the rise in personal income. $15-$20 an hour doesn't go far when city rents for a studio start at over $1000.00 a month. As an aside, if COVID19 has demonstrated anything, it's that the essential worker class deserve a raise.
Be safe.
