Happy Pi Day! Let's talk about 3/14 in terms of financial stability: Did you know that a family of 3 with two adults earning $14 an hour full-time, year-round, supporting a child - cannot afford the basics to survive in ANY New Jersey county? Q: So what IS a survivor-budget-level wage for this family? A: It's more like $22 per hour for both earners working full-time, year-round.
