Supporting Western North Carolina
Just Economics of Western North Carolina, a core member of the Living Wage Network, has been focused on rebuilding their community since Hurricane Helene devastated the region earlier this fall.

Please consider supporting these companies throughout the holiday season.
What is the Living Wage Network?
The Living Wage Network is composed of U.S.-based organizations that encourage and certify employers that pay a living wage, significantly impacting the lives of thousands of low-wage workers across the country. We will lift up and support the work done by our partners, while growing and expanding local and state-based living wage projects. By linking organizations across the nation and creating a formalized network, we can expand and support the movement for living wages, and lift up employers who believe it is good business to pay livable wages to all workers.
Living Wage for US has been part of the Living Wage Network since 2022 and is happy to collaborate with the Network to highlight companies across the United States that are paying their employees a living wage.
