Citation on the average wage? Federal minimum is $7.25/hr, and at least in my midwestern town, McDonald's is paying $11.25/hr, starting, so that seems shockingly low as an average. Or is that the average of the tipped staff, before tips?

  Wouldn't it be $44k/year?

    The usual estimate is 2000 hours/year.

      Yes, per person, and two people who can work in the household.

  Does it? Here’s the kind of house that $35k BUYS you in Cleveland: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2840-E-122nd-St-Cleveland-OH-44120/33417727_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2840-E-122nd-St-Cleveland... I can only assume the neighbourhood and/or it’s schools are atrocious, but damn.
