Why Is This Important?
People with economic stability are more likely to be healthy, but many people with steady work still do not earn enough to afford the things they need to stay healthy.1
Definition
Earnings are primarily wages and salary from a job. Earnings do not include other types of income such as Social Security payments, pensions, child support, public assistance, annuities, money derived from rental properties, interest, or dividends.2
