Living Wages
Access to employment that provides living wages or a sustainable salary is the critical fulcrum that permits all of us to live our lives peacefully and fully without the enormous pressures of poverty or unemployment. Human Agenda believes that the minimum wage should be a living wage, and also fights for a living wage that permits a 4-day week, 35-hour week, and eventually even fewer hours of paid labor given our level of productivity and the real needs we need to satisfy. Living wages should encompass health care, a pension, and other working conditions that allow for a secure life. Human Agenda supports the struggles of those who struggle for living wages in the Untied States and throughout the world.
