	Making a Living: How the living wage movement prevailed, by Jared Bernstein
		For activists seeking to raise the living standards of low-wage workers left behind by the economic growth of the last two decades, living wage campaigns have proved to be an effective strategy.
		A living wage ordinance is a local—usually city—law that establishes a wage floor for a specific group of workers.
		But the living wage movement should be considered one of the more promising efforts to raise the living standards of low-wage workers and to empower urban residents who have been consistently left out of the growing economy.

	Making a Living
		We make our living in the promotion processes of universities and to a slightly lesser extent promotions of colleges, and in our graduate teaching, by the satisfactory quality of our arguments about explanations, especially the quality of the data we bring to bear on those explanations.
		Ethnography about how hard it is to live on welfare, for example, or the documentation of simple differences in means (say of income) between the oppressed and the dominant, are the "descriptive" methods appropriate for rousing indignation.
		Theories about how the oppressed are misrepresented in the ideologies of the dominant, or their rights taken as less serious, provide causal mechanisms which also lay the blame on the dominant, and suggest that sociologists, then students, learning the right answer might start a social movement to correct it.

	Making a Living in Canada
		In the U.S., where living wage campaigns emerged in the 1990s, the focus was on local governments.
		In Saskatchewan it is the Living Wage Coalition, in New Brunswick it is the Common Front for Social Justice.
		Living wage movements offer real hope for making Canada a place where a job is, indeed, a route far from poverty — and where those who cannot work are assured the dignity of an adequate income and good public services.

		They borrowed from a group of English investors called "merchant adventurers," who expected to make a profit from their investment.

	A Living or a Life?
		He had always believed that he was on this planet not just to make a living but to find a way to enrich other people's lives.
		And he wrote a book, "Making a Life, Making a Living: Reclaiming Your Purpose and Passion in Business and in Life" (to be published in mid-January by Warner Books), which profiles 11 high achievers (plus one dubious achiever, Fast Company founding editor Alan Webber), who found their way into work that mattered to them.
		So he then decided to use "Making a Life" as a platform for starting up a for-profit arm of Students for Responsible Business, which would help recent MBAs use their knowledge and talent to make a living and contribute to the greater good.

	Teachers' Domain: Animals Making a Living
		Kingfishers, for example, make dive after dive into lakes, ponds, and streams in an effort to catch fish.
		Typically, animals that use this strategy have physical or behavioral adaptations that make them more efficient pursuit predators, including speed, endurance, cunning, and highly specialized sense organs or physical features for finding and capturing their prey.
		The less common of the two predatory strategies is called "sit and wait." Despite the apparent simplicity of this relatively lazy strategy, some of the animals that use it possess traits that are just as fantastic as the leopard's keen sense of smell or the kingfisher's aerobatic dives.

	Welcome to the Relationship Institute
		The man was enormously successful by America's contemporary standards of material accomplishment: a meteoric rise up the corporate ladder; a 4700 square foot house in an exclusive suburb; over $200,000 annual salary; a beautiful wife and two intelligent, well-behaved children.
		While our standard of material life may be the envy of the world, our inner life is the object of comments like that of Mother Theresa, who said she had never seen such emotional poverty as she saw in America.
		Certainly there are emotional fears and blocks that keep many people from living a more loving life, but by far the most popular reason people give for not 'making a loving' is a lack of time.

		Then students will use two very different kinds of primary sources to learn more about workers about 1900: Transcripts of interviews with children of immigrants for a subjective view, "Family Folklfe Interviews" they conduct with their own family members, and the 1900 census of three neighborhoods for a statistical view.

	Making a Living
		“Making a Living” is composed of six, chronologically organized cases studies—textile ‘mill girls’ in antebellum New England, newly-freed African American sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta, homesteading women in Kansas and Nebraska, native-born coal-miners and their families in southern Appalachia, male autoworkers in Detroit, and Mexican-American farmworkers in southern California.
		Yet the selection of cases also offers a diverse perspective, exploring the experiences of different groups of workers, in a variety of occupations, at distinct moments in the economy’s evolution, and in a number of different environments.
		By making workers the main subjects, "Making a Living" takes up an important but long-neglected aspect of environmental history.
