The Living Wage

Building a Fair Economy
This text analyzes the specifics of the economic concept of the living wage and documents the results of its implementation in cities around America. The authors describe the dramatic improvements that resulted in these cases and argue against the criticisms.

With campaigns for a living wage sweeping the country, here is an accessible and provocative argument for a national “living wage.” Hailed as “the bible of the living wage movement,” The Living Wage shows how living-wage proposals are affordable for both cities and employers, and reveals how they can play an important role in reversing the twenty-five-year decline in wages experienced by most working people in America. Written by leading experts, The Living Wage is a realistic and accessible examination of this vital—and growing—movement for economic justice in the United States.
