[–] Open@lemmy.world 38 points 3 years ago (5 children) Is $25,000 per annum a living wage LA? To think that these are getting so little is nuts. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [+] kaonashi@lemmy.world 23 points 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 11 points 3 years ago I imagine that's poverty in any state permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nihilistic_Mystics@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago "Low income", as defined by the state, is anything below $70,650 in Los Angeles county. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ivemadeamoostake@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Good question! I looked up the poverty line in LA specifically. And here are the results: Persons in Family Household - Poverty Guideline (annually): 1 person - $14,580 / 2 persons - $19,720 / 3 persons - $24,860 This is a very quick look for an answer. I don't fully understand the results. The long and short of it is $25,000/year is over the poverty line for a single person household but barely over the poverty line for a 2 person household. It is the poverty line for a household of 3 or more people. It is unclear how this factors in housing, and if it includes owning property and renting. A 3 person household is generally considered to be two adults and a child or dependant. Livable, depends on what you considered livable. If owning a house and starting a family is part of having a libable life, I would say they are probably not earning a livable wage.
