Abstract:

Living-wage campaigns have formed to certify businesses in progressive parts of North Carolina. The Orange County Living Wage Project, which launched last November, has attracted fifty-eight employers that now pay all employees at least $12.75 per hour. The organization, led by Susan Romaine and Orange County Commissioner Mark Marcoplos, estimates it has lifted the wages of nearly six thousand employees.
