Why This Indicator Matters
The vast majority of households count on wages from work for most of their household income. Just as economic growth in Massachusetts hasn’t meant equitable wage growth for all workers, household incomes in Massachusetts haven’t grown equally either. Access to economic opportunity varies across the Commonwealth along geographic and racial lines, based on factors such as access to employment opportunities and transportation, availability of well-resourced schools, availability of affordable housing, and more.
