New CAROW Explainer: What is a Living Wage?
The Cornell University ILR School’s Center for Applied Research on Work (CAROW) released a new explainer today that defines what a living wage is and describes the most common strategies for computing a living wage in a given area. As a companion to that piece, CAROW also launched a “deep dive” that goes into greater detail on making living wage calculations and how different living wage measures compare to one another.
