Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Exactly, so what do you do with people that are not valuable enough to pay a “living wage”?
For the love of…
I guess I need to use simple words and shorter sentences with you.
If you hire a person, you pay them a living wage.
If they’re not doing their job right, train them better.
If they still don’t work out, fire them.
There. Is. No. Reason. Not. To. Pay. Workers. A. Living. Wage.
None.
And you still haven’t answered my question. Why are you so enamored of exploiting workers?
Great, we are back to exactly where we were. What does society do with people that are not valuable enough to pay a “living wage”?
Still didn’t answer my question.
Your question has nothing to do with what I said and is a strawman. How about my question or are we just doing strawmen now?
It has everything to do with it as you are very insistent on underpaying people for some reason. You have yet to state that reason.
To answer your question I would need more information. Exactly what do you mean by ‘not valuable enough to earn a living wage’?
Strawman
Some people are not valuable enough as workers to get paid a living wage, what do they do for employment or income?
Define ‘not valuable enough’ and I’ll answer you.
Meaning they dont bring in enough money or value to justify the amount they earn.
