Everyone who works for a living should be paid a wage that enables them to cover the basics for themselves and their families. Yet last year, four of Ohio’s 10 largest occupations paid their median worker so little they would qualify for and likely depend on food aid to feed.
All work should pay enough to live a good life. All working people should be able to provide for their families, no matter their race or gender, the kind of job they do, or where they live and work.
For years, too many of Ohio’s most common jobs paid so little.
