Minimum wage is sustainable because it is usually set based on economic reality of each country to a value that affects just a small percentage of laborers.


In Poland it's nearing 20% of laborers. In US statewide minimum wage of 15$ would be and improvement for 1/3 of the labor force.


According to :

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

It is about 12% in Poland (2018) and in most countries from the link it was less than 10%.


However it's not 2018 anymore. It's now almost 20%

Thanks for the link though. I tried to find such chart and I failed.

I guess there's no point of discussing what is and what isn't small.
