Ohio is better than the national average in the following categories:
Working families who are low-income (below 200% of poverty)
Children in working families who are low income
working families in poverty
children in working families who are in poverty
The reason there is an increase in lower paying jobs is because those sectors of the economy are growing faster than other sectors of the economy, not because there are no higher paying jobs.
You can make over $36,700 in a household of two, have health benefits and still be included as a low income family in this study.
