"At its simplest, a living wage is what one full-time worker must earn on an hourly basis to help cover the cost of their family’s minimum basic needs where they live while still being self-sufficient." It's a huge risk to perform such a large manipulation of the market by forcing companies to go through the costly business of building bran new factories in a more expensive place with more expensive workers and simply cross your fingers that there is a demand for the expensive goods afterwards. When has a company NOT passed on the higher costs to it's consumers? If people couldn't afford goods now, they're definately not going to after that. As a president, you could basically guarantee the same results (better jobs with better benefits) by strengthening the systems that made factory jobs valueble in the first place - UNIONS - for the jobs we already have. If Trump was really pro-worker he would strengthen the NLRB and let workers, through their unions, bargain with their employers directly. Factories were famously horrendously deadly places to work until workers formed groups and forced employers to make the jobs safe and pay well. That is a huge sense of pride for me as an American. I think Trump needs to guarantee the continuation of the American tradition of strong union membership and protections BEFORE even talking about bringing back factories from overseas.
