Apparently there is a law that states minimum wage workers can't rent a one bedroom or a studio apartment...


Or work multiple jobs, or be supported by family members (ie, a teenager), or live in an area with lower rent, or work to improve their wage...

I am not sure where the maker of this graph got their statistics, but it is likely an average throughout the state, including cheap and expensive areas, which is likely why California, Florida, and most of the states with higher population density rate worse.

People who make minimum wage can get roommates like any poor person can.  When they get a job that requires knowledge or skill set beyond what is required to make sure a basket of fries is cooked on time, then they can enjoy the some lifestyle perks.

I live in a two bedroom place, and my rent is $1100.00 per month.  Now, if I go a couple of blocks from here, I can pay $700.00.

Excellent article and point well made, Soral.
But then, you didn't need me to tell you that.
The resultant reactionary blather was proof enough.
