[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a nursing home company (upper management) and watching this gave me a pit in my stomach. We employ CNAs and while wage decisions are made locally, I am sure we have a large number of employees in this paycheck-to-paycheck wage rate.  I cried a couple times during this movie thinking, and especially when seeing the stats at the end... 26 million kids, or something like that, being supported by women in this situation.

I support raising the minimum wage, I did before this documentary.  I get that it will make goods more expensive but we as a society are already paying for this, either directly through programs like food stamps, or indirectly through the lost potential of our children.  We should do better and look out for each other. [/quote]

I literally know someone who is EXACTLY this person you're describing. CNA, paycheck to paycheck at a nursing home, raising a racially-mixed child as a single mom. She has a second job at McDonald's.[/quote]
