Prior to December 2020, MIT calculator listed living wage for 2 working adults with 2 children in Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA at $18.59/hour. We are using employee salaries in 2020, so we are using the $18.59/hour number. Seattle Colleges' employee compensation data is not easily available due to a recent software migration. The percent earning a living wage only includes those that earned at or above the annual salary equivalent of $18.59/hour (i.e. $38,667). Percent earning a living wage does not include those that made at or above $18.59/hour, but did not earn at least $38,667 in 2020. 2,043 district-wide Seattle Colleges employees. Cannot easily break data out by campus at this time.
