The cost of rental housing is increasing, even as unemployment rises, and the Federal Minimum Wage (read: we could pay you more but then again we could also get a machine or a monkey to do your job, so shut up and give Norton those fries) is onlt $5.15/hr. I wouldn't babysit for that little! Anyway, according to this CBS news story, in some places it would take 4 full-time minimum wage incomes to pay rent on a small two bedroom house. Yet another reason I live in a converted carport!
