Every working Tennessean deserves a living wage for a hard day’s work. Yet right now, too many are earning less than they did a decade ago while the cost of living climbs.
A new report by United Way of Tennessee, in partnership with United For ALICE, reveals a sobering reality: 44% of Tennessee’s 2.85 million households cannot afford the basics - housing, food, child care, transportation, health care, and technology.
We’re fighting to rebuild and strengthen the middle class—raising pay rates to a living wage, ensuring pay equity for women, protecting workers from harassment, and building an economy that creates safe, well paying jobs in every corner of our state.
Will you chip in today so we can power Tennessee’s future—one that lifts up everyone?
