Living Wage

This Indicator measures the hourly wage for all workers ages 16 and older and compares it to the 2016 Oakland living wage ($14.86 per hour). Hourly wages are calculated by dividing the total person’s earnings by the product of the weeks worked and the usual hours worked per week during the past 12 months. The weeks worked variable was set to the midpoint of the interval included in the ACS data. Only workers with non-zero earnings, who were not self- employed or unpaid family workers, and who were at work or had a job but were not at work last week were included in the analysis.

本指标衡量了16岁及以上所有工人的时薪，并将其与2016年奥克兰生活工资（每小时14.86美元）进行比较。时薪通过将个人总收入除以过去12个月中工作周数与每周通常工作小时数的乘积来计算。工作周数变量被设定为美国社区调查（ACS）数据中包含区间的中点。仅包括收入非零的工人，他们不是自雇或无薪的家庭劳动者，且上周在工作或拥有工作但未上班的工人被纳入分析之中。（方法来源：http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/pdf/2014/chartbook-data-and-methods.pdf）
