The recent economic crisis has impacted all Americans and caused prices to increase and wages to decrease.  A family needs to earn $18.44 per hour, or nearly $38,360 a year, to afford a modest rental home in the United States, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s Out of Reach 2010 report, released April 21, 2010.  Despite the recession, the report finds that rents continue to rise, while wages continue to fall across the country.  The estimated average wage for renters in the United States this year is only $14.44, a decline from $14.69 in 2009.
