Low-Wage Work
-
The Labor Center conducts research on low-wage employment in California and nationally. Our research has focused on wages and working conditions including the public cost of low-wage work and analyses of the retail sector and care industries. We also study and analyze policies to improve wages and working conditions at the local, state, and national levels. See also Minimum Wage and Living Wage.
