To start with, any definition that ends with a constant number is wrong. The living wage in an area depends on the cost of living in that area. I don't have that number on hand, but I expect it to be included in any discussion of what people should get payed.

After that, we need to ask how much profit a person should be allowed to make on their labor.

Okay everyone recognizes this is true. Please share a reasonable number for a medium COL city, ballpark.
