The cost of living and wages in the U.S. remains a hot topic at the moment. We see it covered in the news, on social media, and even in conversations with friends. Podcasts are no exception. A few days ago, Fox News Host Jesse Watters came under fire on the Internet for the comments he made while on the PBD podcast.
While promoting his new book, Watters talked about fast-food workers’ wages. One remark caught particularly much attention. “If you’re making $20 an hour to work in a fast-food restaurant, is that six figures?”, Watters asked, prompting people to wonder whether he was just awfully out-of-touch or couldn’t do simple math.
