Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We do not use a family of four to determine living wage. Based on research using Census data and Living wage information through Portage County, average household and family size is 3, not 4. Based on 2 adults working (which is what #1 is also using), the living wage is $16.04. When using this calculation, 88.6% of UW-Stevens Point’s employees receive the living wage or above.
Temporary worker data is not included in Part 3 above as temporary workers tend to hold more than one position (sometimes 3 or 4) and paid different wages for different positions.
