If taken at face value, doesn't this imply that the remaining 60% of New Yorkers not earning a living wage are either living in poverty, or on their way there?

If taken at face value, doesn't this imply that the remaining 60% of New Yorkers not earning a living wage are either living in poverty, or on their way there? That can't be right.
Seems like there's data missing from this calculation. Or gross oversimplification for the sake of clickbaity ideological articles.
- unbalancedevh 4y agoThe "Living Wage" is significantly above the poverty level wage. If you follow the link in TFA to the source, it shows both.
- lordfrito 4y agoIs there a generally accepted consensus on the difference between the two? I've seen articles that define as below living wage as poverty line for a family of four. [1] Seems hard to find a universal definition. Are we just talking about lower class vs lower middle class? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_wage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_wage
