We have the same shit going on in the UK where the Tories have basically made laws forcing people to go into part time work or zero hours contracts and shouting "Look! Unemployment is down! Yay!"

Meanwhile 4.3 million still in poverty, more food banks than McDonalds restaurants and homelessness is at an all time high.

well lots of minimum wage jobs does not mean anything.

If I want to go out and get a job today, I can get a job. That’s true,” Sanders said in the interview. “But on the other hand ... I can’t find a job that pays me a wage that allows me to deal with health care and pay my rent or put gas in the car. So the economic crisis that we’re facing now is not unemployment, which is low. It is wages.”  

our national minimum wage has gone down the past 10 years.

Edit: a few people seem to be taking this minimum wage thing the wrong way, inflation and other factors have reduced the value of what that minimum wage effectively pays since 2009, hence the minimum wage has gone down.
