I don’t see how anyone could survive even on the increased wage in
But it’s better than nothing
Working Full time for minimum wage you earn about 2400 gross. After taxes and health insurance that is about 1883€. As a single you can very easily live quite comfortably from that unless you are living in a very expensive city.
Probably just the city I’m in then. Rents seem quite high for single accommodations. Renting a room is better, but still. I think if you work full time a 1 bedroom apartment should be affordable.
