These are the states with the highest share of workers earning less than $15,000 a year
“In the lower 48 states, a single adult earning $12,140 or less has an income below the poverty line. For families, the poverty line increases by $4,320 for every additional family member. Though work generally provides enough income to the typical U.S. household to stay out of poverty, many working Americans earn poverty and near-poverty wages and struggle daily to make ends meet.”
