RW - Living Wage Report and FAQ about living wage from Responsible Wealth, a project of United
for a Fair Economy.
The federal minimum wage, which in 1968 stood at 86% of the wage necessary to lift a worker and his or her family to the official poverty line for a family of four, today represents less than 64% of that "living wage." The federal minimum wage, presently $5.15 an hour, would need to be raised to $8.20 an hour simply to meet the federal poverty level
While none of these forecasts have come to pass when the minimum wage was increased in the past, the business lobby nonetheless remains a powerful obstacle to raising the wage floor to a decent level

At the state level, poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics varied widely
Across all income levels, the bimodal pattern of well-being by ethnic group was again apparent, since rates of housing hardship for blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans were twice as high as those for Asians and whites
Across all income levels, the vast majority of white and Asian children were privately insured, while less than half of black, Hispanic, and Native American children had private coverage
Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans, despite having similar child poverty levels, have very different family compositions, health statuses, and housing hardships
This pattern was significant at the 95 percent confidence level and held true for all measures of well-being unless otherwise noted
The federal poverty level is an annually defined measure based on family size (see Dalaker and Naifeh 1998)
