About This Book
With almost one-third of all working people today earning wages that cannot support a family above the official poverty line, community coalitions around the country have responded by proposing "Living Wage" ordinances at the municipal level.
The Living Wage is the first book to consider the specifics of living wage proposals. How many working families will benefit? How much will these programs cost and who will pay for them? Pollin and Luce show how living wage proposals are affordable for both municipal governments and employers, and argue that they can play an important role in reversing the twenty-five-year decline in wages experienced by most working people in America.
