MIT's Living Wage calculator is mentioned in the article. It's a great project.

A while back, I toyed with a project which needed to propose/estimate hourly labor prices for a service marketplace. Not wanting to contribute further to gig-economy exploitation, I used the data as a per-hour payment floor.

Although freely readable on their site, structured data is only available upon request. I think having the data more readily available would allow socially conscious businesses to actually fix part of the inequality problems we have, instead of just knowing how bad it is.

My request went un-answered, but I put together JSON and CSV serializations anyway. If this would be of use to anyone else, contact info is in my bio.
