    $25/hr is not a livable wage if you’re only gonna get 24 hours a week.

    One would still need to work 40-50 hrs a week, it would just be more livable due to getting OT sooner.

          No minimum wage (at least in Oklahoma) can be $25 an hour. But you work 6 hours 4 days a week. But get paid as if you worked 8 hours 5 days a week. Roughly 1000 dollars a week gross pay.

          If you want to work over 6 hours then you should be paid time and half for any work over the 24 hours you work.

          That should be how it handled. And minimum wage should not only be tied to inflation, but should be higher depending on where you live. Example New York state should have much higher minimum wage the 25.
