Research Spurs Community to Address Income Inequality

A wage equity study from the University of Washington School of Social Work found that human service workers in Seattle and King Counties are paid 30 – 37% less than jobs in industries with similar skill sets. The research team included Jennifer Romich, network co-lead for Grand Challenge to Reduce Extreme Economic Inequality. Following the publication of the study, the Seattle City Council drafted a resolution to increase wages for nonprofit human service workers and ultimately establish minimum pay standards based on job characteristics.
