Study Highlights Housing Struggle For Georgia’s Minimum Wage Earners

It can be hard to afford housing if you’re a Georgian working for $7.25 an hour — the federal minimum wage.

A new study called “Out of Reach 2018,” conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, sheds light on this.

Georgia workers would need to clock in nearly 100 hours a week at minimum wage in order to afford a typical, modest two-bedroom apartment, according to the report.
