abstract: 'Policy debates about whether wages and benefits from work provide enough
resources to achieve economic self-sufficiency rely on data for workers,
not working families. Using data from the Current Population Survey, we
find that almost two-thirds of families working full time earn enough to
cover a basic family budget, but that less than a quarter of low-income
families do. A typical low-income full-time working family with wages
below a family budget would need to earn about \$11.00 more per hour to
cover expenses. This wage gap is larger for black, Hispanic, and
immigrant families. Receipt of employer-provided benefits varieshealth
insurance is more prevalent than pension plans-and both are less
available to low-income families, and black, Hispanic, and immigrant
working families. Findings suggest that without policies to decrease
wage inequality and increase parents'' access to jobs with higher wages
and benefits, child opportunity gaps by income, race--ethnicity, and
nativity will likely persist.'
