I'm only using the $15 example because that seems to be the number on topic. Realistically (and historically) it should be around 9 - 10 and tied to inflation. Tying it to inflation is something corporations would hate, but it could help stabilize things over the long term, rather than having a constant back and forth battle. But as I've said, the wage itself isn't as big of a problem as the fact that it's the most common type of job to be found. That is a bad sign for the future of our economy, the continued proliferation of low-wage jobs.
