Do your wages cover all of your family’s needs, or is it falling short? This HR software company decided to find out.
Dayforce partnered with the Living Wage Institute for its first Living Wage Index. The report found that 44% of Americans are not making a living wage according to county-level estimates of what different size families would need to afford basics like food, child care, housing, transportation and healthcare. On top of that, the report revealed gender and race gaps, with women being 32% more likely not to earn a living wage and Black and Latino workers being nearly twice as likely.
