State Minimum Wages | 2017 Minimum Wage by State

https://www.zumper.com/blog/2017/02/...february-2017/

Median rent in Toledo for a 1 bedroom: $420

Median rent in Los Angeles for 1 bedroom: $2,000

Minimum wage in Toledo: $8.15

Minimum wage in California: $10.50

Ironically, even when the minimum wage is $15 an hour in California the after-tax wage on that $15 will be $11.52 which means 173 hours of after-tax will required on minimum wage in California for a median 1 bedroom apartment.

Basically, even after the minimum wage is $15 an California with the higher tax brackets it will be a net of $11.52 which would basically reduce the numbers of hours per month required for a 1 bedroom median apartment from 190 to 173 hours.

OP is there a reason why you are trying to hype up places that NOBODY wants to move to?

That only serves to prove there is a tremendous difference in Cost-of-Living throughout the US.

It's also proves that the federal government's one-size-fits-all approach is a total failure.

Two families of four, each receiving $400/month in Food Stamps. The problem is that $400 buys....

$578.13 worth of food in Cincinnati.
$210.23 worth of food in San Fransisco

....due to the differences in Cost-of Living.

Liberals perpetuate this gross injustice and harm Americans.

So by all means, cut food stamps by 60% in Ohio, it's a red state, fine by me.

Even the wealthy, movie star elite who pay big bucks live near very violent areas

This thread again? Market dictates price difference according to desirability, comparative attractiveness of Toledo and Los Angeles, absurdity of comparing a 290K city with a 10 million metropol, dishonesty in holding up the worst examples from one place against best cases in the other. One could write a shell script to present the counterarguments to your posts. A small shell script.

You're probably wealthy and don't care about the working people who cannot deserve a decent place to live in California?

Unless they are illegals and living 20 people in a two room apartment not paying any income taxes or social security.

Wonderful state you have going there. Most racist, unfair state in the entire union.
