    Easy enough. Set minimum wage for essential workers. (And raise minimum wage.) Declare a holiday for everyone for a month.

    Everyone that works is essential.

      I like your way of thinking.

      Actually, Unions tend to do something similar with overtime and weekend pay.

      If the factory needs you at night or in the weekend, they gotta pay up.

      it would be better to just raise the minimum wage to a living wage and then regulate housing prices. And then tie the minimum wage to the cost of living.
