Andrew McGough, Executive Director of Worksystems, will share information from the newly released 2024 Self-Sufficiency Standard for Oregon—an evidence-based measure of the real cost of living in Portland and the rest of the State. Unlike the Official Federal Poverty Measure, which uses a flat threshold regardless of location or family makeup, the Self-Sufficiency Standard considers the actual expenses households face—housing, childcare, food, healthcare, transportation, and taxes—based on where they live and how many people they support. These numbers highlight that wages may appear adequate on paper but often fall far short in practice. Many full-time jobs—especially at the entry level—do not provide the income needed to meet these basic thresholds, particularly for families with children.McGough will highlight how Worksystems and others can use this data to inform program investments, advance quality jobs, and support economic independence.
