In Arizona, wages are not keeping up with the rising costs of housing.
Workers need to make $21.10 an hour to afford a market-rate 2-bedroom rental, according to a 2020 report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). That wage amount increases to $22.56 in Maricopa County.
But that same report showed the median hourly wage did not reach $21.10 for more than 900,000 jobs in Arizona, including retail workers, bookkeeping clerks, office workers and customer service representatives.
