Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Living Wage data from 2019 https://livingwage.mit.edu/states/16
Note - since originally completing this credit in January 2021, the Living Wage calculator has changed and updated with a new living wage. Because our report is using data from 2019 and 2020, we will use the original data that was listed on the Living Wage Calculator from 2019. We reached out to AASHE and Crystal Simmons said that this was alright so long as we noted the discrepancy.
