根據 Washington Low Income Housing Alliance 的報導, 一個人至少要賺每小時 $17.75 才可以在金恩郡租得起兩房的公寓… 出處: Seattle PI A worker in King County must earn at least $17.75 an hour to afford the rent of a two-bedroom home, according to a report released last week by the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance. That amount, which is also known as the “housing wage,” is what a full-time worker must earn to spend no more than 30 percent of his or her income on rent. Nearly half of all King County renters, an estimated 46 percent, cannot afford the housing wage for a two-bedroom unit, according to the report. Workers who earn minimum wage must work 86 hours a week to afford a space that size. Nationally, the housing wage for a two-bedroom apartment is $15.21 an hour.
