Quote from 1933 on meaning of living wages

“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.... By living wages, I mean more than the bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of a decent living."

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act, 16 June 1933
