[slwc] living wage

The Economic Policy Institute has an online booklet with living wage
estimates for 400 cities (in the appendix):
http://www.epinet.org/books/hardships.pdf

They produce a lot of good papers and books on income inequality related
issues. Their website rocks!

Another website with living wage estimates for many cities:
http://www.universallivingwage.org/
(I think their methodology is weaker, since they are assuming that housing
is 30% of a household's expenditures but then fail to identify how the
other 70% would be spent.)

Are there any other good sources of estimates?
