• THE LIVING WAGE ADVOCACY PROGRAM EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE COST OF LIVING AND THE CHALLENGE TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY THAT LOW WAGE EARNERS FACE WITHOUT A LIVING WAGE. THIS PROGRAM PROMOTES DEVELOPMENT OF A SOCIAL CONTRACT THAT ALL WORKING PEOPLE DESERVE A LIVABLE WAGE IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR LABOR. OUR CERTIFIED LIVING WAGE EMPLOYER PROGRAM RECOGNIZES ANY ENTERPRISE THAT VOLUNTARILY PAYS ALL EMPLOYEES AT LEAST A LIVING WAGE. THE LIVING WAGE FOR TOMPKINS COUNTY, WHERE TCWC IS LOCATED, INCREASED DURING OUR FY2022. CONSEQUENTLY SOME PREVIOUS LW EMPLOYERS WERE UNABLE TO INCREASE WAGES AT THE TIME AND LOST THEIR CERTIFIED STATUS. HOWEVER, WE DID CERTIFY 12 NEW LIVING WAGE EMPLOYERS BETWEEN 7/1/2022 TO 6/30/2023. AS OF 6/30/2022, 122 GOVERNMENT, NONPROFIT AND FORPROFIT EMPLOYERS HAD EARNED CERTIFICATION. WE HAVE BEEN ONGOINGLY ENGAGED IN A CAMPAIGN TO INCREASE THE LOCAL MINIMUM WAGE TO A LIVING WAGE.

The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total.
