Earnings, wages and non-wage benefits

Description:

Who were the low-wage earners in 2000, what proportion lived in low-income families, and how did the situation change between 1980 and 2000?

However, groups such as recent immigrants, lone mothers, and unattached individuals may well be at risk.
