Report: Georgia’s lower-wage workers must log almost 100 hours weekly to rent two-bedrooms
“Atlanta might be one of the nation’s ‘most affordable big cities,’ but Georgia as a whole is still far from inexpensive for people living on minimum wage, according to a new study by the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The analysis, dubbed ‘Out of Reach 2018,’ suggests that workers earning minimum wage ($7.25 an hour in Georgia) would need to clock in for nearly 100 hours each week to rent a decent two-bedroom in the state.”
