At the Living Wage Forum, MEF will present findings from its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) report, and a panel of experts will discuss the pitfalls and possibilities of changing local minimum wages to address local cost of living. Recent changes in Oakland and San Francisco suggest that some locations are willing to ask their employers to pay higher wages at the minimum level.
Does it help? Does it matter? These questions and more will be part of the discussion.
