Report: Fast-Food Workers’ Reliance on Aid Costs Taxpayers $7 Billion Annually | Democracy Now!
17.10.13
Headlines for October 16, 2013 | Democracy Now!: In economic news, new research shows more than half of low-wage workers at fast-food restaurants rely on public assistance to survive — a rate double that of the overall workforce. According to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, low wages in the fast-food industry cost American taxpayers nearly $7 billion every year — that is more than the entire annual budget of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A companion report by the National Employment Law Project found McDonald’s alone costs Americans $1.2 billion annually by paying its workers insufficient wages. Last year the top 10 largest fast-food companies alone made more than $7.4 billion in profits.
