Low Wage Buffalo is a project of the Cornell University School of Industrial Relations Buffalo Co-Lab’s Good DEEDS initiative. Good DEEDS, or Data for Equitable Economic Development and Sustainability, aims to function as a public data repository and a forum for public policy.

The objective of Low Wage Buffalo is to bring new attention a particular dimension of inequality in Buffalo, NY, by shedding light on the magnitude and diversity of the City’s low-wage workforce. The launch of the project coincides with the twelfth anniversary of the most recent increase to the federal minimum wage, which occurred in July 2009.
