$10.32 is no living wage
October 14, 2007 /
$10.32 my foot.
There are plenty of things I’m saying about what the Northwest Federation of Community Organizations this week announced is a living wage for Montanans, but they’re not suitable for print.
I don’t agree with that amount, unless it’s a typo or a figure from 1975.
In my experience as a “single Montana adult,” a $10.32 per hour pay wouldn’t even come close to “meet basic needs, maintain some ability to deal with emergencies and plan ahead,” as the NFCO report says.
