The rule of thumb for renting an apartment is to spend no more than one-third of your income each month. But in order afford the median rent for a two-bedroom in #LA , you'd need to make about $39 per hour, or hold at least two full-time minimum wage jobs.
Want To Rent A California Apartment? You'll Need 2 Full-Time Minimum Wage Jobs

To afford a one-bedroom apartment in California, a minimum wage worker would need to clock in around 83 hours a week.
