Most workers who will benefit from Living Wage are part-time. An argument by the opponents of fairness and change is these workers don’t deserve a Living Wage because, well they only work part-time. (As if part-time work doesn’t qualify as work.)
Here are some facts about part-time work:
* More than twice as many women than men are employed part-time.
* Most women who work part-time do so in the lowest paid jobs.
* Part-time workers often string together multiple jobs to make ends meet.
* The leading cause of underemployment is low paid part-time work.
