March  26,  2014  

Today,  just  over  one  third  of  all  Bay  Area  workers  are  low  and  moderate  wage-­‐-­‐earning  

less  than  $18  per  hour.  

Source:  5-­‐year  2011  American  Community  Survey  (PUMS  data)  

Project  goal  is  economic  mobility:  how  to  move  low  and  moderate  wage  workers  into  middle  income  

jobs  (earning  at  least  $18  to  $30  per  hour)  

2010! Share of total workforce!

$30 and above! 1,196,090! 38%! $18 to $30 an hour! 850,210! 27%!

Under $18 an hour! 1,126,860! 36%!

Total! 3,173,160!

Goal  1:  Improve  career  pathways  from  low  and  moderate  wage  work  to  middle  wage  jobs.  

Goal  2:  Grow  the  economy  in  the  Bay  Area,  with  a  parFcular  emphasis  on  growing  middle-­‐wage  jobs.  

Goal  3:  Upgrade  condiFons,  parFcularly  for  workers  in  exisFng  low-­‐wage  and  moderate-­‐wage  jobs.    

How  did  we  come  up  with  these  three  interconnected  goals?  

To  accomplish  this  goal,  the  strategy  aims    to  accomplish  three  related  goals

Industries  with  the  greatest  number  of  middle  wage  jobs  (3-­‐digit  NAICS)  

There  are  few,  if  any,  “middle  wage”  industries  –  and  there  are  middle  wage  

jobs  across  the  en6re  economy  

Therefore,  in  order  to  grow  middle  wage  jobs,  you  have  to  grow  the  whole  economy  –    

 even  though  some  projec6ons  show  the  share  of  jobs  paying  middle  wages  will  

decline.  

OccupaFons  with  median  wages  below  $17.83  an  hour  in  the  East  Bay  

•  $15  to  $18  Office  clerks,  medical  assistants,  nursing  aides,  delivery  truck  drivers,  recep6onists,  shipping  clerks  

•  $12  to  $15    Pre-­‐school  teachers,  janitors,  security  guards,  laborers,  groundskeepers,  cooks  

•  $9  to  $12    Stock  clerks,  retail  salespersons,  home  health  aides,  cashiers,  maids,  child  care  workers,  bartenders,  food  prep  workers,  dishwashers,  counter  abendants,  fast  food  cooks,  and  waiters/waitresses  

But  the  jobs  that  pay  less  than  $18  per  hour  are  not  going  away…and  will  likely  grow…

Percent  of  Bay  Area  workers  at  different  wage  levels,  by  age  cohort,  2010  

And  many  workers  earn  low  wages  throughout  their  en6re  working  lives.  

So  it  is  important  to  improve  the  quality  of  work  at  the  bobom  of  the  wage  scale  because  many  will  remain  there.  

At  the  same  6me,  we  have  to  acknowledge  

that  lower  wage  workers  live    everywhere  –    

 They  are  not  

concentrated  in  any  par/cular  neighborhood.  

Lower  wage  jobs  are  located  everywhere.  

But  most  low  wage  workers  drive  (73%  for  low)  –  just  like  all  workers  (80%)

Bay  Area  commutes  in  minutes,  by  wage  level  

So  a  higher  percentage  of  lower  wage  workers  tend  to  have  the  shorter  commutes  (nearly  60%  have  

commutes  of  less  than  20  minutes).
