🙄🙄🙄 I’m a City worker and I can’t afford to live in the city where I’m forced to live, I shouldn’t have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet, everyone thinks that city workers make sooooo much money, bringing home barely $1100 every two weeks is not enough my mortgage is more than one of my checks, no clear plan on a living wage for us as usual

[@DB247.]

You need to increase your skill set. She said she will be working on helping city workers up skill. It’s up you to forge a living wage not the governments responsibility. They are required to provide opportunity not money.

[@tamikataylor6862]

@@DB247. First of all any job or company that you work for should pay a decent living wage at minimum, as city employees we are not paid a decent living wage. It’s not government assistance 😒😒😒🙄

Democrat. Nice talk,but no action and corruption. Philly is trash as always. They don’t have new taxes. Yes, but they do house reassessment. Every house property tax will go up $600 in average. Ask every kid if they like all year school. No
