Notes: For self-sufficiency wage, family of three consists of one adult, one preschooler and one school-age child. Hourly wages given assume full-time, year-round
employment. Welfare wage is the combined value of TANF, SNAP, & WIC. Median family income represents families with children under age 18. Values shown for
median family income are midpoint estimates within a 90% confidence range, which can be very wide.
