Yep. There are a lot of employees like janitors that make under $30k/yr for example, in one of the most expensive places in the country. Even with roommates it would be near impossible to scrape by on that amount.

I can't imagine living in LA on $60k/year. $30k I'd just assume is living with parents, 4 other roommates in a tiny house, or they are just supplementing while their partner is the breadwinner. Oof.

Lived in the Bay Area 20 years ago making $65k and still had to have roommates. I wasn't even in close the city too.
