A majority of those affected are either second or third-earners in households where the average family income exceeds $50,000 per year. 1970's, rich welfare states have largely failed to make any further progress in combating relative income poverty, especially among the working-age population.

With maximum benefits in tax year 2008 of $4824, the value of the EITC is substantial, particularly among the working poor. 11 For example, the EITC would give a minimum wage worker with two children a 40 per cent increase in annual earnings.
