15/hr is about 1900/mo after taxes (assuming you get full 40 hours a week which is pretty rare in most hourly jobs where overtime for your employees is avoided like the plague.)
Where in the US is LCOL enough for that?
- mattmcknight 3y agoWell, Wichita Kansas is maybe the biggest one? You can rent a place there for 500/month. Here's the thing though- if you raise wages, the prices for the finite quantities of housing get bid up. The goal should be bringing the cost of living down.
- leetcrew 3y agolots of places, if you're willing to live like a college student. for example, you can find 3BRs around baltimore for ~$2000/month. split 3-4 ways (sometimes there's an additional room with a door that doesn't technically count as a bedroom), your share is $500-700. main issues are going to be health insurance and a car if you can't find $15/hr work within walking distance.
- whoknowsidont 3y ago>lots of places Well you see that's exactly the problem. There are in fact, not a lot of places.
