For example, someone who receives $8,000 a year in transfer payments (such as food stamps, housing assistance, and the Earned Income Tax Credit) might be deemed to have received the equivalent of $4 an hour toward meeting the minimum wage. That individual’s combined income would be achieved with a lower cost to the employer, increasing the individual’s ability to find employment.
比如，某人每年获得8,000美元转移支付（如食品券、住房补贴和工作所得税收优惠），他有可能被认定为获得了相当于4美元时薪，这将被算入他的最低工资。因此，在计算总收入时，雇的成本将有所降低，这增加了他找工作的能力。
