Living Wage

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Living Wage
The lowest wage necessary for a person to be able to provide himself/herself with food, clothing and shelter. A living wage varies from place to place depending on an area's cost of living. A living wage may also bear only a rough resemblance to the minimum wage, which is the lowest wage a company may offer legally. Some jurisdictions, however, have mandated a living wage as the local minimum wage.
