March 08, 2010
BOSTON, March 8, 2010 - Crittenton Women's Union (CWU), a Boston-based nonprofit innovator in breaking the cycle of poverty, released today the Massachusetts Economic Independence Index (Mass. Index), which reveals a single parent with two children needs an annual income of $61,618 in Massachusetts just to get by. Its companion report, “Hot Jobs 2010,” also released March 8, identifies just 11 hot jobs—occupations requiring two years or less of higher education that pay at the Mass. Index level and have more than a 100 vacancies statewide—down from 26 three years ago.
