Noted: According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison-based Center on Wisconsin Strategy, a nonpartisan national think tank that promotes “high road” solutions to social problems, about 8,000 workers in Milwaukee County would get higher wages as a result of the living wage. For the vast majority of those workers, their standard of living would rise. This would lift them out of a vicious cycle of being part of the working poor who work hard to make a living but still rely on public assistance to keep ahead of the bills.
