Our continuing focus is to promote a living wage in Orange County, North Carolina. <br /> Through our employer certification program we certify Orange County employers that pay their <br /> employees a living wage. The certification is voluntary on the part of employers. <br /> Our goals are to: <br /> • Reward and recognize employers based in Orange County who pay their workers a living <br /> wage <br /> • Provide employers with incentives to pay a living wage <br /> • Connect consumers to employers that provide a living wage & encourage them to become <br /> customers, patients, clients of those businesses and organizations. <br /> The Orange County Living Wage project promotes a more just and robust economy in Orange <br /> County. We are modeled after the successful North Carolina project Just Economics, based in <br /> Asheville, NC. that has certified more than 400 employers, the most in the USA. <br /> Orange County Living Wage works to advocate for and assist employers as we work together with <br /> them to create a more just and sustainable local economy that works for all. We welcome <br /> participation in our work from all members of the community. <br /> http://www.orangecountylivingwage.org/ 2/5 <br />
