Interesting graphs and charts department - Page 19

I am frequently mildly amused by economic graphs of the last five years, in any category. You don't even need to look along the bottom axis for the dates, you just glance at the line and where it falls off a #$%&ing cliff, that's 2008.

That top chart reminds me of this.

Wow. Take out everything but the title and legend, and its still depressing.

eta: add the map back in, and unless I missed one, I live in the maximum.

That's why we need to get rid of the minimum wage.

Lamplighter · 03-19-2012, 05:56 PM

There must be something wrong in the calculations for Nevada,
... 92 hrs out of 160 h/month just for rent ?
...in a State with all those foreclosures and vacant houses.

I think that's 92 hours per week, not per month.

Even in the cheapest states, two adults working 40 hours at minimum wage are still spending 3/4 of their combined income on rent alone.

Insert incredulous stare here.

I bet they waste the rest of their income on food or some other such nonsense.
