Living Wage and Economic Security

SUMMARY - Living Wage and Economic Security

Work is supposed to provide economic security, but many jobs don't pay enough to live on. For people with disabilities—who face higher costs of living, more employment barriers, and often fewer hours—the gap between working and economic security may be wider still. The relationship between employment, wages, and economic wellbeing for people with disabilities raises fundamental questions about what work should provide and what happens when it doesn't.
