The National Low Income Housing Coalition report calculated that counties in Washington and Oregon, where state minimum wage is above $9, were the only ones where a worker earning that much could afford a one-bedroom apartment rent. For people earning a little more than $7 an hour, making rent for a one-bedroom place would take an average of 85 hours per week; for a two-bedroom, they’d have to work 102 hours per week.


Seemed relevant since we had a recent discussion about if working part-time is enough to pay for rent in College

It really wasn't an issue, just didn't post right. I just sat there on the delete key for a minute.
