Since Baltimore handed the first living wage law in 1994, several dozen cities passed similar laws in the late 1990s and the 2000s.
<h3>The Living Wage Law</h3>
The Living Wage Law mandates certain employers that receive at least $1 million of economic assistance from the City or a City financial development entity to pay no smaller than the living wage to their employees at the project site unless the employer allows for certain immunities.
<h3>What defines a living wage?</h3>
A living wage is a socially adequate level of income that provides adequate coverage for basic conditions such as food, shelter, child services, and healthcare. The living wage standard permits for no more than 30% to be spent on rent or a mortgage and is sufficiently more elevated than the poverty level.
