Yes and when they only paid 5.25 an hour in the 90s it was also hard to live off of, cause every wage is not supposed to be a "living wage". That notion is just berniebro utopian horseshit. I've worked fast food service jobs and grocerie store jobs, at no point did I expect to "live" off of that. However it did allow me to save enough money over time to attend a state school, which is dirt cheap.
If you expect mcdonalds to pay a living wage then, yes, you need to consider living in "bumfuck nowhere" instead of manhatten. This is called life.

Well this is what I don’t like about the idea of living wage. Everyone has different standards of living
A homeless migrant living in a tent and working cleaning toilets for $3/hour eating his free daily church meal is still living, in the sense that he is still surviving as we are all programmed as animals to try to do
Aside from labor supply and demand, wage is how much an employer values the skillset you bring to the table. The smaller the skillset, the less valuable it is. But what can also fuck everything up is thousands of people in an area with small skill sets some of which are willing to accept almost nothing for those. These lower the bargaining power of everyone else around
