PRETTY APPALLING per report. ....Working families comprise nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of enrollments in America’s major public benefits programs and account for 63 percent of total program costs. The paychecks of many low-wage workers do not generate enough income to provide for life’s basic necessities. When workers and their families earn so little that they cannot make ends meet they turn to publicly-provided aid. This research brief estimates the public cost of low-wage jobs in the banking industry. The median wage for a U.S. bank teller is $11.82 per hour. For this analysis we focus on bank tellers employed at least 10 hours per week and 27 weeks per year.2 We estimate that there are over 478,000 bank tellers in the U.S. that meet our criteria.
