Approximately, 44% of Michigan children live in ALICE or poverty households struggling to afford essentials, such as food, housing, and childcare. According to the MIT Living Wage calculator, a thriving hourly wage for a Calhoun County family of three—one adult and two children—is $46.07 per hour or $95,825 annually. It is almost double the income of the United Way ALICE survival wage, which is $24.14 per hour or $50,211 for a family of three. Many women are struggling to achieve the survival wage.
Automation Workz has achieved an average graduation salary of $67,250 with its highest 2 graduates achieving $166,000 and $130,000. About 30% of graduates earn over $80,000.
