 Growing sector of tipped workers

low wage, low benefits, high poverty
women, less educated & disproportionally young

▪ but, 45% are at least 30 years old (33% waiters)

epitome of ‘Just-In-Time’ employment

▪ creates instability

 Policy areas

reconnect TW to MW
strengthen & enforce laws to protect workers
improve job quality and benefits
