The question about what a "living wage" is a valid one.
When I moved from Southern NH to Chicago area, looking at the cost of living in the two Metropolitan Urban Areas was useful in comparing costs. There was little difference from Boston to Chicago in costs. Also note TWDC makes revenues from four major segments, and movies returns more profit on a numbers basis.
But the debate about "living wage" remains. Why at $15 an hour? Because it is a round number, easy to remember? Why not $20?
If you define a living wage as being able to spend on a modern auto, 2BR apartment, cell phone, netflix, groceries from Whole Foods, a Prius? Obviously this is an extreme, but the question remains... Also, apparently the amount needed is the same for
Disneyland employees versus Disney World?
How do you define a living wage?
