On Monday, March 9, The News & Observer posted a story on Durham’s new living wage certification program — titled the Durham Living Wage Project, citing Asheville’s Just Economics as its model.
The Just Economics Living Wage Certification Program, the largest of its kind in the country, has certified more than 400 Western North Carolina businesses as paying a “living wage” to its employees. The goal of the program is to create a sustainable economy through a stronger, dedicated workforce.
