This article by Huffington post discusses the high costs of renting in the United States. They gathered their data from a group called the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
This report, called the “Out of Reach” report compares the average minimum wage and housing costs by state across the United States. They looked at the hourly rate needed for a 2 bedroom rental. This sobering report shows that the hourly wage rate needed is more than double the federal minimum wage in all but four states.
