pardon, třikrát, ale to už berte jako vtip, prostě jste s tím překlepem pokračoval...to se stane.
Hannah Geiger (X) May 16, 2012:
Díky, uvedl jste to tak totiž ve své vysvětlivce ještě jednou, takže jsem si nebyla jistá že šlo o překlep
Michal Zugec May 16, 2012:
Áno Hannah, je to preklep - subsistence je správne v príklade.
Hannah Geiger (X) May 16, 2012:
I am asking because I am under the impression that there is no such word as substinence, and that the writer must have meant either subsistence or sustenance.
Hannah Geiger (X) May 16, 2012:
are you sure that by "substinence" you really did not mean "sustenance"....and if not, could you give some references to the word substinance, please...?
Elizabeth Spacilova May 15, 2012:
wages vs poverty line In 2011, the poverty threshold for a family of one in the US was $11,139 -- the equivalent of $5.57 per hour _net_ for a 40 hr/week, 2 weeks holiday/year job. Gross minimum wage in Wyoming is $5.15/hour. Much to my shame, the minimum wage for agricultural workers in Massachusetts is $1.60/hour. Not even three times that is going to reach the poverty line.

three times the substinence minimum

Najprv som váhal, ktorej z už uvedených odpovedí dám svoj hlas - s úpravou na substinence minimum, ale potom som sa rozhodol dať samostatnú odpoveď. Dôležité v tejto otázke je asi to substinence minimum, nie forma akou sa vyjadrí trojnásobok.
Example sentence:

Subsistence minimum is the basic factor for providing assistance in the social security system. The Act No. 601/2003 Coll. on Subsistence Minimum as amended defines the subsistence minimum as a socially recognised minimum income level of a natural person,

three times the poverty threshold / line

Poverty threshold is the U.S. statistical term.

"Poverty line" is more common in regular communication.

Minimum wage is something quite different. There are people who make minimum wage in full-time jobs but are below the poverty level.
