      America has a wage problem. Before the pandemic hit, 44% of U.S. families—14 million households with children—did not earn an income that was high enough to cover their families’ living expenses. https://brook.gs/3arcUmk  @Sifan_Liu @joeparilla

      In a new report, @Sifan_Liu @joeparilla find that families headed by women (53%), Black (58%), and Latino or Hispanic (57%) individuals and individuals without a high school diploma (65%) are much more likely to be struggling economically.pic.twitter.com/NNkkDG8UH1

      With 14M households struggling to make ends meet, a new report identifies, for every metro, the family-sustaining wage threshold and number of family-sustaining wage jobs required to move half of those families w/ children into self-sufficiency. https://brook.gs/3s3kyZW pic.twitter.com/JmRP5qtoIQ

          The family sustaining wage is higher than the regional median wage in all but six metro areas—Hartford, Conn., Sacramento, Madison, Wis., Spokane, Wash., Seattle, and D.C.—suggesting that most local economies are not delivering enough high-quality jobs.pic.twitter.com/QXXvKnzm8f

          The COVID-19 pandemic brought the low-wage crisis to new heights, authors @Sifan_Liu @joeparilla write. In the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy shed low-wage jobs at eight times the rate of high-wage jobs.

          Drawing on recent research, @Sifan_Liu @joeparilla find that tradable industries—and particularly supply chain tradable services industries—are more likely to concentrate a higher share of family-sustaining wage jobs across major metro areas. https://brook.gs/2OQX8ss pic.twitter.com/jZykm1HuEG

          In order for local leaders to know if their COVID-19 recoveries are being driven by higher-quality jobs, they must consider 3 metrics: struggling families; family-sustaining wage thresholds; and family-sustaining wage job deficits. https://brook.gs/3arcUmk  @Sifan_Liu @joeparilla
