Is the minimum wage in NYC higher than in the New York State?
According to the Department of Labor website the current wage in New York State is $7.15 an hour and raising to $7.25 in 2 years but considering the high cost of living in NYC, is the minimum wage higher?
$7.50 wow!!! I was just looking up the rents on NYC apartments and the average apartment was like between $1600 to over $6,000!!! Like I saw studio apartments for $2,000 or more!!!
The cheapest ones were in the Bronx for just less than $1,000.
You cannot survive in NYC on minimum wage. If you want to live in Manhattan comfortably I suggest making AT LEAST $100,000 a year. The more affordable housing is in queens, Brooklyn or the Bronx. The cheapest housing I know is in Newark, NJ which is a short train ride away from Manhattan. However I would really consider Newark as a last option, as it's a high crime area.
The cost of living in the city is extremely high compared to other parts of the country. I would not suggest moving here without a steady, well paying job- not a minimum wage job.
