Twenty/20
Full-time minimum wage workers cannot afford a two-bedroom rental anywhere in the U.S. and cannot afford a one-bedroom rental in 95% of U.S. counties, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition's annualIn fact, the average minimum wage worker in the U.S. would need to work almost 97 hours per week to afford a fair market rate two-bedroom and 79 hours per week to afford a one-bedroom, NLIHC calculates.
That means even the average hourly worker who earns $18.22 per hour cannot afford rent, the report says. earn even less. "Grocery store cashiers earn a median wage of $11.61 per hour, while building cleaning workers and home health and personal care aides earn $12.94," per NLIHC.There was a housing affordability crisis even before the pandemic hit and tens of millions lost their jobs. Last year, the
also found that a two-bedroom was not affordable anywhere in the country, putting the 2019 housing wage at $22.96 for a two-bedroom rental and $18.65 for a one-bedroom.
MakeIt Perhaps they should better themselves for higher pay? I know that's impossible for the left to understand... 😆😆
MakeIt Sad, problem is menium wage is made for a teenager to have a little bit more allounace in his pocket Not a grown up paying bills.Adults have to be making at least 79.00 $ an hour,unless thier retired than 59.00$.Or get rid of taxes all together,than 42.00 an hour .
MakeIt All these people saying raising minimum wage won't matter because it's for teenagers and entry level people seem to not realize all other hourly wages are set in relation to the minimum
MakeIt Minimum wage is for entry-level jobs. If you are over 20 and have not acquired the skills to move beyond an entry-level position, don't blame others. On the other hand, cheap housing could be made available if building codes were more rational.
MakeIt Unsustainable economic model
MakeIt It depends where they live.
MakeIt Let them move to seattle , Portland or NYC... there will be plenty of vacancies soon
MakeIt But, the Republicans think that $600 a week will discourage them from working. senatemajldr SpeakerPelosi
MakeIt That's not news. People are still being affected by the Obama and Joe Biden policies of the past. That's why Donald Trump is President Donald Trump. Both PARTIES were complicite in keeping the working class down. Race was never a factor. All races were affected, Black, White, etc
MakeIt RISE UP
MakeIt We used to have several roommates back in the minimum wage days.
MakeIt Learn a skill or trade and increase your income. Provide relief for trade school instead of unemployment cash bonus
MakeIt Rent should be put on hold with mortgage... push everything back 6 months.
MakeIt Why do teenagers with after school jobs need to pay rent?
MakeIt No shit, minimum wage is not for people to own/rent a property alone. It’s for the least skilled workers, typically kids under 21yo. If you make minimum wage, expect to have a roommate.
MakeIt Minimum wage jobs were designed as starter jobs for teenagers and part time people. Not a career
MakeIt Why would a single minimum wage worker be expected to rent a 2-bedroom apt? That's a meaningless statistic.
MakeIt Sad 😢 This needs to change immediately
MakeIt Minimum wage workers cannot afford Teslas in any U.S. state.
MakeIt 2.1% of all workers make minimum wage. It’s not meant to pay rent.
MakeIt True that
MakeIt Solution, get a better job! Skilled training available, or college.
MakeIt Don’t be surprised if American people state looking at other countries to start building market up. Then America will surely drop
MakeIt True story
MakeIt Yeah ain’t America great.
MakeIt Who pays minimum wage? My 15 year old make $15 an hour.
MakeIt Maybe these workers should have paid closer attention in school and learned a marketable skill. Sad how our public education turns out victims with nothing to fall back on, except handouts.
MakeIt America. a land of freedom. gun rights bullshite from a corrupt pres trump.lets have a recession everyone.. then rich suffer more than the poor
MakeIt Guess they need a better job then.
MakeIt Want more supply of rentals? Abolish rent controls. Also stop inflating the money supply and creating price inflation.
MakeIt The GOP shits the bed. The Dems come in and clean it up. The GOP calls Dems traitors and socialists for trying to alleviate a hellscape that they created. And the cycle continues.
MakeIt Minimum wage needs to become a living wage. It’s the right thing to do
MakeIt Lots of stupidity in the comments. A MUCH higher percentage of American workers are at or close to minimum wage than ever intended. The massive income gap is why people are so fed up and pissed off at the perpetuation of this system.
MakeIt If you are an adult and working min wage jobs, not by choice but for extra cash. chances are, you suck as an employee, you have no ed, no are untrainable, you speak 0 English , you are illegal, you ask people “what U name is”.
MakeIt No $hit...that’s why less than 3% of Americans even earn minimum wage. SocialismKills
MakeIt Back in the day, a person starting out would live at home or rent a room before they became established because it was the expected norm. Now 'something is wrong' because of unrealistic expectations that a single person with limited income can afford an apartment + utilities.
MakeIt Moat minimum wage workers dont have to pay rent on their own. Secondary income or children. We are too dumb for oxygen!
MakeIt We know.
MakeIt Take trade skill. China can't steal those from American workers in US
MakeIt Here's an idea: RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE!! Keeping minimum wages low by saying it is a burden to the small business owner is fantasy Try livin on $7.25 an hour for a year, then get back with me *you will have to find a quarter on the ground to call me in a year, you'll be broke
MakeIt Minimum wage workers have NEVER been able to afford renting a place on their own. What planet do you live on?🙄
MakeIt I thought America was made great again?
MakeIt They’re not supposed to
MakeIt Ivanka said 'find something new'……
MakeIt Not a fan of “gotcha” reporting. Min wage is for low skilled workers, teens, etc to work an entry level job to learn skills so that they can advance onto better paying jobs. Raise the minimum and these people get replaced by robots and learn and earn nothing.
MakeIt If the government wanted to lower the cost of renting a apartment they should stop subsidizing any housing. All they do is raise the floor for everyone else.
MakeIt Not many teenagers need to pay rent
MakeIt Yeah. This story is lies. Come on CNBC- Please don't join in the fake-news bandwagon. I Had trust and respect for you.
MakeIt Money printing by the FED
MakeIt They can leave then bye
MakeIt Then go to school, join a company and work to get ahead. Minimum wage was not Live Life Wage. Stop the BS!!!!!
MakeIt Learn some valuable skills. That will fix your problem.
MakeIt Run for president...live in public housing, get a plane,
MakeIt So. Minimum wage jobs are not intended for single adults; these jobs are temporary at best, for teenagers and unemployed adult while looking for higher paid job. It is adult responsibility to learn new skill trade or college. Work ethic. It is their fault not better their life.
MakeIt Flippers have to buy outrageously crappy homes for 300k and then remodel to sell for 500k -700k. Whether it's high housing prices with low rates or medium prices with higher rates, it's killing the American Dream. Mortgage nightmare some can sleep through some can't.
MakeIt This is a purchasing power parity issue. Since 1997, purchasing power has deteriorated by 20%. After adjusting for inflation, its at its lowest level since 1955. This helps companies that require unskilled labor control opex, maintain profits, and exploit their workforce. Vote.
MakeIt Minimum wage workers are also 17 years old and living at parents house. Or they are a straight shit employee
MakeIt I totally agree “QUEEN SHEPHERDESS VALERIE JOHNSON.” And, after you pay your bills, especially a cell phone, $15.00, doesn’t leave enough CASH to buy a beautiful home with the white picket fence. cbn ABC abc abcnews StaceyBacaABC7 MakeIt
MakeIt You Really created a coherent society !!!!
MakeIt Underemployment has always been a problem
MakeIt Not only the rental fact, the minimum wage workers are subjects to police brutal treatments and humiliation. These are American people but the police are not humans.
MakeIt Thanks captain obvious.
MakeIt They never could. This is the first generation where kids just out on their own think they should be able to live alone in a nice apartment. Every prior generation has lived with roommates, in rooming houses, or at home until they were established or married.
MakeIt New York City has own solution cc all roommates 😃
MakeIt boo-hoo! cnbc is so fake, they think everyone just fell off turnip truck. FACT! ppl have been getting by for years on min.wage.. you combine 2 incomes. you don't live beyond means. you WORK up ladder for promotions! they get freebies as if earn 40K! MOVE to IMPROVE! stop slackin
MakeIt What is minimum wage supposed to support? No one has ever answered that question. Is it a 16 year old sacking groceries looking for extra cash or a 40 year old with a spouse and 2 kids trying to support a family?
MakeIt They all work for all the wealthy ... the wall st folks ... whom got all the Million $$ payouts ... trickle up effect ... oh, the rent goes to the wealthy property owners .. see the cycle there!
MakeIt You FORGOT to mention these are DEMOCRAT party CONTROLLED cities & states where blacks and minorites live! Seems that DEMOCRAT party policies are designed to keep minorites poor & begging for handouts from DEMOCRAT party Politicians! DEMOCRATS Handing out crumbs to the people
MakeIt ...yawn... what brilliant reporting
MakeIt federalreserve stimulus/QE works good on Stocks
MakeIt A new $40,000 income cap was suggested by McConnell in order to target low-income Americans who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. senatemajldr GOP thinks 40K is enough a year to make it through this pandemic.
MakeIt How about getting an education? That might help. An education doesn’t need to be from a 4 year college. It could be from a technical school or vocational.
MakeIt
MakeIt That's fine, high school kids shouldn't be paying rent.
MakeIt Of course they can’t. That’s not why minimum wage was created.
MakeIt I'm confused. Why can't they just withdraw some money from their trust fund until they get settled in their career?
MakeIt
MakeIt Yeah, but how about that nasdaq?
MakeIt We All 1% ers! We can’t take it easy! They would rather pay people who wear helmets & play sports than a person getting shot at for there Country who don’t take care of them right! During & after as a Veteran!!
MakeIt The US spends more $ on military that the next 10 highest economies. Some of this $ could be used to help the less fortunate of our society with housing. Housing also must meet building standard and codes. We do not need another multi billion dollar aircraft carrier.
MakeIt Sad that this is only now newsworthy. Glad y’all decided to state the fucking obvious.
MakeIt Tell us!!
MakeIt Duh.🤦🏻♀️
lacadri34 MakeIt Sleepy joe Raising minimum wage to $15 won't work either once landlords will just raise the rent even more and make it even more impossible for poor people
MakeIt That’s what happens when the Trump Admin focuses on the 1%. I’ve been a life time conservative and value the core principles of small government and job creation by enabling economic opportunity. But the scales have tipped too far to favor corporate America and the wealthy.
MakeIt And POTUS says Stumulus and Tax cuts has helped All Americans🙄
MakeIt
MakeIt
MakeIt ...yawn... NOT what min wage was designed for.
MakeIt Minimum wage jobs weren’t meant for people to pay rent, stupid.
MakeIt Who is hiring at minimum wage? Please give a list. I bet unless a mom and pop shop you won’t find many
MakeIt No shit. Where have you been for the last 10 fucking years? A cave?
MakeIt Funny how they want a Walmart greater to make 15 dollars an hour
MakeIt Min wage is for young adults to learn about hard work not to support your family if your over 25 and making min wage then you’ve made some poor decisions in life
MakeIt The US is basically a slave-State at this point.
Giant__Dwarf MakeIt Such Corruption and Greed by our Blood Sucking Vulture Capitalism
MakeIt Bull.
MakeIt Every wage is a living wage if you live within your means m
MakeIt That sad fact is a national disgrace.
MakeIt Min wage jobs are not supposed to be career jobs they are for teenagers.....
MakeIt The average minimum wage worker is age 15-25. At that age most people are still at home saving money, work harder then you will earn more. SocialismKills Socialismsucks capitalism
MakeIt Have you thought about Arkansas?... Lived there for 2 months. Median rent there is about $600.00 or even less.
MakeIt With all the BS GOING ON you think now is the time to start more BS
MakeIt So do something about it. It took ten years to figure this out? Look at the homeless population who can’t afford to have a roof over their heads!
MakeIt Minimum Wage has never supported a household. Ever, Meant for young people starting into the work force and part time jobs
MakeIt The unwritten contract between capitalism and workers has been broken for ages. What's the point of working if you're still homeless? For the honor of slavery?
gr8fulchik MakeIt or Canada
MakeIt Minimum effort equals minimum wage... not that hard
MakeIt That’s why Democrats want to increase minimum-wage to $15.
MakeIt So sad 😭 and they call us the richest Country in the world!!
jwomack MakeIt Imagine Senior Citizens who make $400 a month on Socisl Security
MakeIt To the stupid folk saying 'minimum wage jobs are not supposed to be...' Take note dumbasses...Huge numbers of people work these jobs. Parents. Men and women fully grown that do it because their previous job is gone. Jobs themselves are scarce. Get off your *privilege*.
MakeIt Fuccn terrible & sad. But America is so “GREAT” but financially the one’s who keep the nation thriving with their blood, sweat & tears are not rightfully being replenished or compensated for years...🙄 AmericaIsNotGreat
MakeIt Until the Left/DEEP STATE infected our economy with the China Virus, we had the best economy for Blacks, Hispanic's, Asians, Whites, etc.. The economy will come back, unless Biden wins. That minimum wage earner better redecorate the Parents basement. They'll have a long stay.
MakeIt Seem to us, the humans chose how they want to earn their livings.
MakeIt Minimum wage workers cannot afford rent in any U.S. state. We can play dumb with this issue, all day long. The consequences are pilling up, when and if 1 day, something serious is done, it may be too late, one example the homeless, a direct entity and result of minimum wage.
MakeIt Then maybe stop closing the damn country
MakeIt average rents are 1k a month and minim wage is 1200 a month. Math matters and goverment listens ot lobbyist to keep it at 7.25
MakeIt you are correct and msm people shouldnt earn more than any of us, since they lie to us so much anyhow
MakeIt This isn’t news. It’s been this way at least two or three decades.
MakeIt BUT MIDDLE CLASS WORKERS PAY 100% OUT OF POCKET. LOW INCOME GETS HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT, MIDDLE CLASS MEANS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR ANYTHING, BUT TOO MUCH MONEY TO GET ASSISTANCE.
MakeIt Liberalism
MakeIt Minimum wage isn’t meant to live on. It’s a starting point. One works hard, moves up and earns more. The focus should be on ambition, work ethic and training, not minimum wage.
MakeIt Minimum wage is a starting wage. It was never meant to raise a family etc. When I went to school, had a minimum wage job, I shared an apartment with 3 other guys and walked 4 miles one way to school 3 days a week. Growing up is learning about priorities.
MakeIt Learn a skill...it’s easy
MakeIt Averages, what are they and how do they work?
MakeIt Get better, more needed skills than flipping burgers and washing cars. Things break, I fix them. People need things fixed all the time and I have the skills to fix a wide range of machines. Dont stick with one low skill job. Diversify yourself.
MakeIt I make 100k in NYC. I only pay 1875 in rent. Given the affordable housing math of 30% of income - even my apartment isn't affordable.
MakeIt The right would like all low wage workers to live in bunkers and purchase their food from a window. Their new age slavery.
MakeIt Even North Dakota? Dear lord.
MakeIt That’s the reason Careers we’re invented.
MakeIt If we quit letting big business rape the US economy, capitalism would go back to working for everyone. Is there actually an SEC anymore? Do we have any protection for workers of any kind any longer? Now that the middle class is falling apart, we should fix the real problems.
MakeIt Work more jobs lazy
MakeIt It is bad so backup with rent, that’s another thing our Governor and stare appointed people should be addressing.
MakeIt Stop raising minimum wage and lower the inflation of the American dollar
SmithBlindlib5 MakeIt Even where minimum wage has been raised in localities it takes two incomes to get by, if there’s kids involved, ADC is needed for food, clothing, and shelter. Not Socialism Humanitarianism Substitute this word for socialism every time a rich GOP spews it as if it’s bad
AnitaWade104 MakeIt I make 10.50 an hour and cannot afford rent and living expenses on my income alone. How people with one income and children are expected to survive is absurd.
MakeIt Exactly the way the SenateGOP HouseGOP realDonaldTrump want it! They want their slaves hungry and oppressed. They think the trump approach will benefit them. They believe trickle down economy is sufficient for the general masses. Trump supporters like sucking hind tit!
MakeIt Sounds like more overpriced housing than wages
MakeIt No kidding. Where have you been? Did you think it was a joke Disneyland workers living in their cars b/c they can't afford rent?
MakeIt Minimum wage needs to be increased also the wage gap between large corporate paying jobs is long over do. What about hazard pay during the pandemic?
MakeIt They never could, that’s why it’s minimum wage people as in starter salary, no experience , entry level stuff
MakeIt Well, I'm sure Ivanka Trump will tell them to 'find something else'.
MakeIt Pretty sure this is what SenSanders has been saying for decades now. The people know as they live it every day.
MakeIt It’s called roommates?
MakeIt People have been saying that for years!!! This isn’t new
MakeIt Let's have a COVID19 party! Pass out some Tide pods, Root beer and Mentos... That will help
scottgr60613 MakeIt Capitalism...
MakeIt This has been going on for a decade or more and someone is just now figuring it out? sigh... the US is so out of touch with itself.
MakeIt
MakeIt Yet these losers have no problem having babies
MakeIt Rent is to high and the house and apt. are crappy build. Electric is high just for electric and rent is at very least is 700 to 1000 a month. Nobody can afford that crap. In part that is why credit rates are bad
MakeIt PLEASE vote for the Democrats. When Democrats are in charge, everybody wins. When Republicans are in charge, it's dog eat dog.
MakeIt It is time for universal basic income, along with infrastructure on which to empower oneself be available. Along with a complete revision of the poor development ideas that have done so much destruction to the nation & neighborhood after neighborhood. It is time to end the fraud
MakeIt Eva_Nordmark shekarabi strandhall johanssonmorgan GreiderDD DSuhonen Samma sak gäller i Sverige för de sämst betalda, de som inte ens får 50% av kollektivavtalsmässig lön i timmen (och inte heller jobbar heltid). hur länge tänker socialdemokratin igorera de extremt låga lön
MakeIt This is how to become rich in USA . Exploit everybody you can
MakeIt Especially when their mayors are not opening up and they have no income
MakeIt You forgot to add the: 'Since 1986' part.
MakeIt No fucking shit, havent been able to my entire life, n im 50
MakeIt That's why most minimum wage workers have roommates. So they can split rent
MakeIt I bet they all have cellphones and a nextflix account tho. responsibility
MakeIt Not ONE state that the fuck
MakeIt If you don't have the skills to perform a job that drives pay above minimum wage, either don't move out of your parents house, or find some friends and co-op. And geezus, don't have kids either.
MakeIt Then get an education and/or a skill so you earn more than minimum wage!!!
MakeIt Most of us could not afford to live here BEFORE the virus, now it has become impossible and the outcome, as in past history, will not be pretty, especially while Ivanka says 'let them eat cake'....metaphorically of course.
jessiwhiteside MakeIt As usual, EVERYTHING goes up but workers salaries. For the last 50 freakin years. Thanks greedy fucking CEOs.
MakeIt The average US home in the 1970s cost ~8k hours of minimum wage work. Today, ~40k hours+.
MakeIt Minimum wage was never meant to be a career goal! It is a place to coast while one goes forward in life! If they do not move on there is no place for others who come after!! Don't be stupid!
MakeIt GET A HIGHER PAYING JOB
MakeIt True story!
MakeIt Shameful TakeMoneyOutOfPolitics EndTheKleptocracy
MakeIt Then make yourself worth more to your employer.
MakeIt No shit
MakeIt What’s happens when $15/hour jobs can’t afford McD’s value menu due to inflation?
MakeIt That’s why they created roommates. You are not “entitled” to a job that pays for a 1400 square foot apartment on your own.
MakeIt Many of them could get a better job if they didn't stay up all night playing video games and the sleeping all day. Many of them want full time wages with part time hours. Pathetic.
MakeIt A little, late to the party CNBC. This has been a problem, for years.
MakeIt Hey what is it Ivanka says? Ohyeah ' try something new🎶'
MakeIt But it shouldn't be all of them cos we can still see few who can afford it .
MakeIt Work 2 jobs like I did
MakeIt Lmao. Minimum wage jobs are a starting pt for high schoolers & retirees. If you have 0 skills & can’t work your way up ... then there must be something wrong with you.
MakeIt So they need to lower rent rates, not raise minimum wage. That just drives the price of everything else up, so people STILL can’t afford anything. Rent caps would actually make a difference, unlike repeated inflation caused by min. wage increases.
MakeIt Let's all remember which party wants to abolish federal minimum wage. Repubs always want to shit on Dem cities/states, yet everything they vote for and support lowers standards of living across the board.
HerbArndt MakeIt Neither can seniors or disabled persons on social security. Try renting when after Medicare premium you have $1200 for all expenses.
MakeIt This is unacceptable ! Just spit balling here...what if we raised the minimum wage? 🤦🏼♂️
MakeIt That’s because minimum wage is for children who live with their parents. People choosing to not finish school, go to college or taking an office job in a mail room which pays more is a personal choice.
MakeIt working 2 - 3 jobs to try to meet minimum items like food & shelter life is a struggle. Now pandemic- no job. The ones that qualify for the unemployment boost are struggling but ok. that boost is gone end of July. And no jobs. We are going to have homeless families increases
MakeIt Of course not
MakeIt And the gop could not care less.
MakeIt I guess that lie of Reaganomics and the latest one of a controlled lie of Middle Class Tax cut, that’s not, doesn’t work. It’s funny how bs can be resold to Patriotic idiots that once were up in arms about their concern for the deficit.
MakeIt If they voted Republican I don’t want to hear their shit.
MakeIt A minimum wage job is not meant to support oneself fully. This is such an entitlement argument that it’s ridiculous. Kids see adults working one job and don’t realize the spent their entire life to get to that point. Then they just cry(even as adults)for more money and less work
judevwellness MakeIt Thank you realDonaldTrump thank you GOP the homeless people are on you and you alone. Had you not called this a hoax took it seriously closed the country down until the curve was flattened 85 babies wouldn’t be sick right now thousands of deaths avoided
MakeIt Well yeah. Minimum wage jobs aren’t career jobs. Unless of course, you live with your parents rent free.
MakeIt USA middle class disappearing. Dem solutions: 1) open the borders and tax middle class to give free healthcare to anyone who comes in. 2) burden employers with “carbon credits” to somehow pay the climate to be different 3) make employers easier to sue 4) transsexual storytime
MakeIt LET THEM GO BACK TO WORK AND STOP YOUR BS LIES
MakeIt Makes no sense
MakeIt So sad!
MakeIt And how might this be news? I don’t believe one could ever have survived earning minimum wage without additional working household members or some sort of assistance.
MakeIt The people that lied and organized this plandemic need to be investigated and tried.
MakeIt Yes and the idiots that ordered this shut down and continue it knew and know now that this would happen. That was the purpose not to save lives. The threat from COvID has been proven to be quite low but governments and WHO keep shitting down the economy. They have an agenda!
MakeIt This is the real America!! Very sad Trump could care less.. He needs to be removed !!!!! 💯
MakeIt People want to be able to work, buy food and pay for basic expenses like housing & healthcare. GOP: socialists!
MakeIt I'm pretty sure that a large portion of the over half a million homeless people in America can attest that it has been this way for a long time. I'm also pretty sure that number is probably going to double in the next four years if Trump is reelected. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
MakeIt And these fake capitalist wonder “why do people like socialism”. As a true capitalist I realize people need disposable money to to you know, actually keep the system going.
MakeIt Hang in there wage slaves. After Covid19 is finished ravaging our population there will be a flood of rentals on the market and rent will come down. affordablehousing TrumpsAmerica THINGS to come.
MakeIt This surprises you? Wages have stayed disgracefully low, while the wealthy demand 3% more each year. Capitalism only works when you don’t have a bunch of greedy a-holes at the top. It’s disgraceful.
MakeIt You notice there is no minimum in minimum wage. How about some training? So they can break away from Democratic party dependency
MakeIt The minimum wage paradox. A rise in minimum wage will cause rents to rise.
MakeIt Minimum wage positions are for kids entering the work force. It’s time for adulthood ladies and gents. If you are working for $8/hr at 35 you fucked up🤷♂️
MakeIt Maybe they should lower the PROPERTY taxes (30% of rent) and disband the frivolous law suits against rental property owners, hold tenants responsible for prop damage and speed up evictions for non payment. All these & more cost good tenants more...
MakeIt Raise it to $15 an hour and watch what happens. Businesses will close or reduce the work force in order to pay for the increase in wages. Restaurants will use automated kiosks to order further reducing the number of employess.....be careful what you wish for.....
MakeIt CNBC, Did you just find out about it? Your people need to be more prepared before make any comment.
MakeIt Zzzzzzzzzzzzlazzzzzzzzzy
MakeIt Min wage jobs are not supposed to be career jobs.They are starters & stepping stones for people to work their way up.Expecting every single job in existence to be enough to fully support you is ludicrous. Educate yourself, have discipline, be diligent, work hard. U will succeed.
MakeIt The power of capitalism.
MakeIt $15 bucks an hour is a take-home pay of less than 30k a year and that isn't enough to secure housing in most US states.
MakeIt Increasing minimum wage only increases prices. Rents would go up even further. Anyone can delievery for postmates. I made 250 a night as a beer vendor. Just have to want to work.
MakeIt Based on the assumption of the 'American dream.' I can assure you that even 120 years ago, people had the same problem. What did they do? Shared apartments, rooms.
MakeIt Minimum wage wasnt designed to be the end all be all. Youre suppose to work up enough skills to earn better positions or extra work. Youre not suppose to stay at the bottom and just exist. Your lack of life goals arent other peoples problem, its yours
MakeIt In Honolulu, there are lawyers and professors that can’t afford the rent. I’m sure Hawaii isn’t the only place that’s true. If people in those professions are having a hard time making ends meet, what chance do minimum wage earners have?
MakeIt You already posted this story. It depends on the person
MakeIt Over the years I feel the wage has to be atleast $12 to get an average place along with atleast 1 more person to share the cost. Trying to get something for yourself, forget it.
MakeIt 1/2 HOUSING CRISIS UNEMPLOYMENT LOW WAGE INCOME in developed countries of the world: ARE PART ON an extortion system to enFORCE PARENTS YOUTH CHILDREN into ORGANISED CHILD TRAFICING & -ABUSE coronavirus MAKES IT EVEN ESEAR! COINCIDENCE? See my MANUSKRIPT:
MakeIt No country for old people...
MakeIt If you can’t afford to live in a city then you should move to an affordable area. There are cities and places in the country that are affordable. It’s not a right to live in a city. I can’t afford a Lamborghini so I buy a Honda. I do what works and they should too
MakeIt This has been the case way before the pandemic.
MakeIt There never was. This is not new. Single people have never expected to live alone until, apparently, now. Rooming houses, apartments with roommates, or live with parents until you were established and/or married.
MakeIt What the hell?
MakeIt True
MakeIt Minimum wage workers are also 16 years old and live in their parents house. If this is not the case they are a shit worker. I made minimum wage for two weeks at my first job at KFC when I was 15.
MakeIt Good incentive to get an education
MakeIt They still pay minimum wage? My teenagers are well over with what they do.
MakeIt Sounds like a third world nation
MakeIt Dnc governors keep shutting down legal businesses destroying millions of lives. Time to riot at their homes.
MakeIt States could always build affordable housing instead of $1900 luxury studio apts.
MakeIt education
MakeIt People in America send money to their family members oversea more than any other countries in the world. What is it that has led to this?
MakeIt Minimum wage workers need to live with their parents or have several roommates like everyone else did when they were young.
MakeIt then go out, get an education via college or a trade school, add some motivation and hard work to the equation... and work a career. flipping burgers isn’t supposed to be a life long job that can monetarily sustain you.
MakeIt Minimum wage is not designed to support a family. This is obvious. Why in hell would we want people to strive for nothing more than minimum wage? This report is a non-story.
MakeIt The real minimum wage is $0.
MakeIt Eliminate minimum wages and allow workers the freedom to negotiate their own wages based on what they're worth.
MakeIt Thank the FED
MakeIt Minimum wage is not meant for head of household.
MakeIt Headline is not true.
MakeIt Keep raising the minimum wage so blacks and 'undesirables' will keep segregating themselves out of wealthier white neighborhoods
MakeIt People will leave in the streets.....then....
MakeIt So why would they need a 2 bedroom apt? And have they EVER been able to afford 1? I had roommates when I was a minimum wage worker. That gave me incentive to GET A BETTER JOB! and of course they wouldn't need to pay for groceries etc because of welfare.
MakeIt I had roommates when I was poor. It was fine.
MakeIt Duh
MakeIt This is a real problem ☹️
MakeIt I’m living in a van down by the river! Chris Farley
MakeIt Have they ever, in the history of minimum wage going back 75 years? Prior generations have understood that you get married, live with a significant other, or have a roommate (or 4)? Being single and living alone has always for higher income folks. Now, everyone feels entitled.
MakeIt This disturbing report shows the disconnect between real estate investment and tenants. A sustainable economy needs fair wages to fuel it.
MakeIt That's why you shouldn't be on minimum wage as an adult
MakeIt Most people who make minimum wage dont have to pay rent cuz they are kids or second incomes.
of_abusers MakeIt That is not a minimum wage. The minimum should allow a family to live with dignity, rent , groceries, utilities, transport etc. unions?
MakeIt Like everyone else my rent is due on the 1st . I usually pay on the 25th. 3 weeks late
MakeIt Too often minimum wage workers can't afford the food they prepare/serve, the houses they clean, the cars they service, the goods they produce or even to live in the city where they work.
MakeIt Me to my boyfriend: *Look babe, we’re on the news!*
MakeIt But, but, the President’s tax cut...
MakeIt UBI is looking pretty good now, isn't it. A rent freeze would be nice too, but we can't really expect much from the U.S. government. It's hard to take care of citizens while also giving trillions of dollars to the top 1% and spending even more on pointless endless wars.
MakeIt Honestly $15 an hour should be implemented nationwide.
MakeIt Bullish
MakeIt Is this news?
MakeIt They can if they share an apartment with friends like I did in my 20's. And you work up to higher and higher wages.
MakeIt Cue the 'those jobs are for high schoolers' crowd. When unemployment is 11%.
MakeIt What’s your point ? Minimum wage was nerve intended to support anyone. Only an entry point to gain experience and move on Up...........
MakeIt No worries GOP will help 🤣🤣🤣
MakeIt 😜 learntocode
MakeIt I remember when I made min. wage when I was 16 and then moved on to a better job and worked hard to make a better living. I never made excuses or blamed anyone for my short comings I accepted responsibility for my situation. Plenty of higher education programs out there.
MakeIt It’s like the turn-of-the-century type of world we live in. Tenaments anyone, shepherds hovel, a sugar shack?
2fatcathat MakeIt EatTheRich
MakeIt So who’s living in these places? Are they empty?
MakeIt No shit!
MakeIt Actually this applies to any decent job in a typical US large city...for example check the median income in Oakland CA and the average apartment rent. The income disparity is getting larger and larger. Time for a change.
MakeIt More pay for less workers- as has been demonstrated since time began . Privilege continues. Sorry you’re fired so the other person can get a raise
MakeIt And in NYC, UI without PUA assistance is under minimum wage. Can you hear us yet, senatemajldr SenateGOP SenateDems? BeAnArtsHero1
MakeIt You can rent a 2 bedroom apartment right next door to me for 300 a month in Iowa. I live in a nice safe neighborhood where people watch out for each other. We know each other. Share extra garden veggies, etc. Iowa is underrated. There’s jobs here too! ComeToIowa
MakeIt When making minimum wage you are literally preforming the least skilled work an individual can do, what are they expecting? If you are poor you get roommates.
MakeIt welp
MakeIt A raise in minimum wage is useless without a cap on inflations. If we raise minimum wage, everything else is just going to raise in prices, thus seeming it redundant
MakeIt Minimum wage is for those starting out(1st job)or those looking to get experience. It was never meant to sustain a full independent income.
MakeIt I'm a little confused by this story. This isn't new information, is it? Even in the 90s, I had to juggle 3 jobs to pay rent on my own. I also went to school and held an internship. This has always been Life in the U.S. (exhausting you to barely survive)
MakeIt Interesting maps - non affordablility of rents NLIHC housing
MakeIt Please support me! I’m a full time student and I work as a medical scribe making $10/hr. I’m trying to work and earn clinical hours while paying for school, but my paycheck barely funds my commute! All help is appreciated.
MakeIt Take away the extra $600 a week in unemployment these socialist are thriving off of and make them go back to work so they feel a sense of accomplishment when they move out of momy and daddies on their own, with money they’ve earned. Enough trump bucks carrying them
MakeIt There are more socialist and liberals in minimum wage jobs than stout conservatives... most likely due to dropping out of school or college (that’s fine) but than these same plebeians come cry on twitter about capitalism using their $1000 iPhones & only leave moms to protest now
MakeIt
MakeIt been saying this for years fam
MakeIt You’re not suppose to live off the minimum wage...
MakeIt sad but unfortunately true.
MakeIt There are people who make more than the minimum and still can’t afford
MakeIt Literally minimum wage jobs are are all most people can get now a days, even with a degree in a promising career due to the inflation of the worth of a degree. Or circumstances where people have to start working early and give up on higher education. 1/2
MakeIt And chickens lay eggs and water is wet. Has it ever? No!
MakeIt No shit
MakeIt FALSE My sister has rented a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 floor apartment for $550 a month since 2014. The master is 15x20. Every unit also has a large 8X10 storage room attached outside. It kept immaculate too. Stop the pity party
MakeIt My 17-year-old son works at Walmart and gets $12 an hour.
MakeIt The real minimum wage is $0.
MakeIt Can they afford necessities like iPhone and Netflix?
MakeIt No Shit
MakeIt When in USA could they?
MakeIt True story
MakeIt Look at the high taxes, that is why it is high. Democrats tax people to death.
MakeIt Minimum wage jobs are for teenagers and side jobs. If they have rent to pay, they should try developing a skill that pays them a real wage. justsayin
MakeIt Did you know every single Honda Pilot is made in Lincoln Alabama
MakeIt Maybe Butler county Alabama
MakeIt People who make $50,000/year can not qualify to rent a 1-bedroom apartment in the Bay area.
MakeIt The sad thing is that many people believe that minimum wage jobs should not be livable wage jobs. They think they are jobs for kids still living at home. I do not believe that. A minimum wage earner should be able to pay rent and buy food and minimum amenities.
MakeIt AOC told the same story. Don´t you remember?
KathleenFOX5 MakeIt This is a decade old. Not news.
MakeIt But they qualify for food stamps
MakeIt Not really meant to live under minimum wage. This is mostly for Teens, Disability workers, US newcomers, and those who want to work after jail. It’s not meant to be a permanent career for anyone. You gain experience, then use it as a stepping stone for a better job later.
MakeIt That's not exactly breaking news. But when was the last time you saw $7.25/hour listed on any job posting? Why is anyone working for minimum wage in this country?
MakeIt Depends on the individual.
MakeIt “Try Something New”
MakeIt Still, you forgot to ad that to the end
MakeIt Ever heard of roommates, housemates, flatmates? Min. wage isn't for living off of a long time. It's a rung in the ladder.
MakeIt I think we all knew this. This is why people work 3 jobs. People can't afford a two bedroom in LA making anything under $25 an hour. 2 bedrooms go for $2,500 to $3,500 now.
MakeIt Get a different job. Says the president.
MakeIt America is a sad place
MakeIt No sh*t really? Says literally everybody.
