You're in the Politics and World Affairs section of the General Discussion. There are some slightly higher standards for posting in this forum. In either case, post more then a sentence if you actually want to discuss it. Few people, except for the people who just look to make arguments, care to spend time replying to a thread where the poster put no effort into its creation.

You didn't mention or source any of that in the OP...
 

1. What is the current minimum wage for Apple employees?

The current minimum wage for Apple employees is $2 per hour.

2. Is $2 per hour considered a livable wage for Apple employees?

No, $2 per hour is not considered a livable wage for Apple employees. The cost of living in most areas where Apple has employees is much higher than that.

3. Why is Apple paying their employees such a low wage?

The decision to pay employees $2 per hour is not made by Apple. It is likely a result of outsourcing production to countries with lower minimum wage laws.

4. Are there any plans for Apple to increase their minimum wage for employees?

There is no official statement from Apple about increasing their minimum wage for employees. However, they have recently faced pressure from labor rights groups to improve working conditions and wages for their employees.

5. How does Apple's minimum wage compare to other tech companies?

Apple's minimum wage of $2 per hour is significantly lower than other tech companies such as Google and Facebook, who have a minimum wage of $15 per hour. However, it is important to note that Apple's employees may receive additional benefits and perks that could contribute to their overall compensation.
