I find it extremely disappointing that the frontline workers that have to deal with the substantially greater risk of contracting COVID are in many cases relying on minimum wage.

If they really are as valuable as we are saying (and I think they are), we should increase the minimum wage to reflect that.

I fully agree with paid sick leave, particularly for COVID to avoid further infections, but there is one more detail I would add to minimum wage requirements: Part-time workers should have a HIGHER minimum wage. The reason being is they are not working the full 40 hours per week and are substantially more likely to have multiple jobs to support themselves and their family. Working multiple jobs increases the likelihood of spreading COVID as it crosses (theoretical) bubbles. Increasing the minimum wage for part-time would ideally drive more employers to provide full-time work instead and reduce the number of jobs that a person has to maintain to support themselves and their family.
