Tompkins County Living Wage Updated – Now $24.82 per hour!

Alternatives Federal Credit Union and the Tompkins County Workers’ Center were pleased to join in the release of the 2025 Annual Living Wage Report Wednesday, February 26th.

In 1994, Alternatives did its first living wage study to address internal staff concerns about compensation levels. Rather than looking at what competitors paid, or what the statutory minimum wage was, the credit union wanted to see what it took to support a person above the poverty level. It has continued to support the updated calculation every two years.

This Report was produced by a team from the Ithaca and Buffalo Co-Labs of Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
