$14.49 an hour needed to afford Ariz. home, report says

WASHINGTON - Nowhere in the country could a minimum-wage employee afford to
pay rent on a two-bedroom home, an advocacy group said Wednesday. And in
three-quarters of the country, even two full-time, minimum-wage jobs
couldn't pay for such housing.

Come on, what a joke. A state average is not a good measuring stick. Here 
in Harrisburg most jobs are above minimum wage, they advertise the fact. So 
yes the housing may be more expensive, but the wages are higher also.

 One person should not be living in a two bedroom house.

I understand the arguments, they are probably looking at a single parent 
with one or two children having to find good housing, but it's still just a 
headline grabbing puff piece.
