The most-common jobs in Ohio don’t pay enough to meet expenses, report says
A report found four of Ohio's 10 most-common jobs pay so little that a full-time worker supporting a family of three would qualify for federal food assistance, with 84.5% of all jobs in the state offering median wages below the estimated cost of living for such a family. The analysis links stagnant wages to decades of tax cuts favoring corporations and the wealthy, which have not delivered promised economic benefits.
