The article highlights the challenges recent college graduates and mid-level professionals face in securing entry-level jobs that offer sustainable wages. Research by NetCredit indicates that geographic location plays a crucial role in wage viability, with cities like Bakersfield, CA, and Fargo, ND, providing higher percentages of job postings that exceed the living wage, while locations like Honolulu, HI, perform poorly in this regard. Only 48% of Americans have emergency funds, emphasizing the need for livable wages in job postings.
As it turns out, Bakersfield, California, comes out on top, with 100% of entry-level job ads on Indeed advertising wages above the local living wage.
Online lender NetCredit compared local entry-level job wages to local costs of living to figure out where people have the best chance at success.
