A new study conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) looked at the hourly wage needed to afford rent in every state and to no one’s surprise, California topped the list.
There appears to be no relief in sight for Californians as the cost of living continues to climb in the already expensive state and many are forking over far more than one-third of their income for housing. While there are endless entertainment options up and down the California coast, some residents rarely get to enjoy them as they are too busy working to get by.
For several California counties, especially along the coastline, residents working minimum wage jobs had to work more than 80 hours per week even to afford a one-bedroom in 2023. It’s worth noting that in April 2024, a new law went into effect that requires most fast-food workers in California to be paid at least $20 an hour. This applies to restaurant chains with at least 60 locations.
