Buffalo salaries suck?

· · 🌡️ 60°F

The Kansas minimum wage is the lowest in the nation-- $2.65 an hour. A Kansan who works 40 hours a week at this level makes the unbelievably low salary of about $5,000 a year.

    what?? are you sure? I thought minimum wage was like 6 or 7 bucks... maybe that $2 figure is for waitresses, since they get tips too?

    that sucks!

    I'm guessing that number might be right. I'm guessing there are a lot of farms in Kanas so you have all the farmers and people in there family who arn't really paid a wage so that could be right. But to be honest what you are paid per hour dosn't matter. What matters is how much you are paid per hour is compaired to the cost of living. That is an example of why Buffalo is a better place to live then say SF or NYC. Yes you do get paid less in Buffalo but it is a lot less expensive then NYC. Property values here used to be a lot less then in CA , and I'm guessing still are. One other thing that would also need to be put into the mix is tax and how that effects how much income and how much disposible income one has.
