In Massachusetts IT wages have stagnated for 12 years. Minimum wage has doubled. Rent has gone up 2.3x or so. Housing prices have just about doubled but it depends on location.
Junior IT people now make a couple bucks more than minimum wage. My wife was hiring for a couple of positions and the pay was around 42k. I still don’t understand how that works as a salary in 2023 in Boston.
It feels like you think the things you said are against raising the minimum wage, and I strongly recommend you read your own post again.
