A "Living Wage" vs. A "Minimum Wage"

For months there has been a national campaign, started by fast food workers, to say that they "Can't Survive On $7.35," which is the federal minimum wage.  Individual states can set a higher minimum wage for workers in their state.

Currently there are efforts to raise the minimum wage to $10.10.  Seattle is often cited as a model since the minimum wage there was recently raised to $15.

Yet is even $15/hr. a "living wage"?  What is the difference between "minimum wage" and "a living wage"?  What are the justice issues involved in the wages we pay our employees?
