The bolded is the whole point. NO one should have to work a second job or work overtime JUST to make ends meet. People need to be able to LIVE and life is a balance. Overwork leads to stress, poor health, and a lot of problems that cost society over the long run rather than being helpful to society.
A "living wage" for a SPECIFIC AREA (it will vary) should mean that you make enough to be able to afford housing, food, and clothing.
Let's just look at housing. Let's look at RENTAL HOUSING because that is what the federal government uses as a gauge for affordability in an area.
In Orlando, the average 1 bedroom apartment costs $1700. Landlords will require that you make 3 times the income to be approved. That is $5100 gross.
That breaks down to $29.42/hr to live alone.
What about roommates? Well, if you rent a 2 bedroom apartment with a roommate, you'd each need to make around $19/hr. Is WDW paying that much? Nope. They are not.
What about
Disneyland?
Average rent for a 1br apartment in all of Orange County is $2095. To live alone, a livable wage is $36.25/hr.
To share a 2 bedroom apartment ($2700 average price) would require each person to make $25.31.
Keep in mind, this is using a 40 hour (full time) work week.
Disney is not paying anywhere near these wages in CA, certainly. They are not providing a living wage.
What they are paying is not a living wage ANYWHERE in the US.

Keep in mind, this article was written over a year ago. Things have only gotten worse, cost wise.
"Living wage" is not some arbitrary number. It's a very real economic calculation.
