Living wage jobs can rescue working poor

Go read:
"A May 2003 study documents that nearly 60,000 Atlanta residents earn less than $10.50 per hour, making up about 21 percent of the working population. Please meet the working poor: Their average age is 35 years, with nearly 17 years in the work force. Average family size is 2.8 people. Ninety-three percent are adults, 40 percent are nonwhite and 56 percent are female"
