Though rent prices vary throughout the country, a Zillow study shows one minimum wage job won’t be enough to earn your rent virtually anywhere in the U.S.
researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say it takes for a family of four with two working adults to get by.While the majority of states have set their own minimum wage rules, 16 states default to the federal level of $7.25 an hour,. Beyond state guidelines, cities may set their own minimum wages. In Denver, minimum wage is $17.29 — nearly $4 higher than Colorado's state minimum.
Rent is typically cheaper in cities where the minimum wage is $7.25, Zillow found. But residents of those cities still need an average of 3.5 full-time minimum wage salaries to afford a two-bedroom apartment. In cities with wages higher than $7.25, it takes an average of 2.5 salaries to make rent.1. Austin, Texas
