I've never really understood why these conversations get framed as a choice between one worker and another.
If rent, groceries, and basic bills keep climbing, it makes sense that people in all kinds of jobs want wages that keep up. Fast food workers feel it. Paramedics feel it. So do teachers, retail workers, and plenty of others.

At this point, comparing prices, grabbing store brands, and sticking to a grocery budget feels like part-time work. Everyday shopping, household essentials, food prices, and family budgeting have definitely become a bigger focus lately.
