How will it be determined? It can’t be the same across the board. Only those who are worth whatever the wage is will be hired. It will cause businesses to drive up prices on goods and services. It will also ensure unskilled persons remain unemployed. Can someone explain to me how this will work???

A living wage is simply a way to say “higher wages for the same work”. All that will do is drive up costs. There is a dangerous lack of economic reality in the PLP.
