STUDY: TWO-WORKING-PARENT FAMILY NEEDS $74,044 TO SURVIVE IN L.A.

But only $51,035 if just one parent works. The story notes “Calculations were based on families who do not receive healthcare through employment, rent rather than own real estate and have a car.” Later in the story, “The federal poverty line for a family of four was $20,650 in 2007, less than a third of what this report estimates they need.”

Now this is some fuzzy math!
