Handy Website to check out

Here's a link to a site that is advocating a Universal Living Wage formula instead of our current flat rate minimum wage nationally. It'd be interesting to crunch the numbers and see what a living wage would be for Huntington, IN and how most jobs in the area stack up.
http://universallivingwage.org/

There's also a lot of great information on that page including an interesting article about Costco, a new rival to Wal-Mart and Sam's Club in some areas of the country. Go to their page and click on the sidebar for "Reports and Stats." The article is under the title, "A Corporation that Breaks the Greed Mold." Enjoy.

I did a quick search through www.census.gov and have linked below the most recent numbers/facts for Huntington County. This might help in "crunching those numbers"...
