"There’s not one U.S. city or county where someone working a 40-hr wk on min wage of $7.25 can afford to rent a modest 2-bed apartment. Minimum wage workers need to work 3 full time jobs to make modest 2-bed rental home affordable." - National Low Income Housing Coalition Report

Someone working for minimum wage is not supposed to have a two-bedroom apartment. Minimum wage is for 15 year old kids who live with their parents. Living on minimum wage is not supposed to be a damn lifestyle you're supposed to get motivated and improve yourself and upgrade

Don't they have efficiency apartments any more or roommates.

I could never pay an English speaking person that little; they’d starve.

How to Enslave People: Cut them off from access to the free and natural abundance of nature and become the source of life sustenance. Then you can get them to do whatever you want in order to receive the life sustenance.

More immigrants = lower wages. Supply and demand...

That's the point of a minimum wage. I gt that when I started working at 17. Found other jobs, went to college, got a better job, got promoted, graduated, got married, etc. Minimum wage is a starting point

They probably can in Detroit or Flint actually.

A 2 bedroom apartment is not attainable with 3 minimum wage jobs in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York... no way. Unless you have a lot of roommates.
