The "Living Wage" is significantly above the poverty level wage. If you follow the link in TFA to the source, it shows both.


Is there a generally accepted consensus on the difference between the two? I've seen articles that define as below living wage as poverty line for a family of four. [1] Seems hard to find a universal definition. Are we just talking about lower class vs lower middle class?
