1 year agoThis graph is also misleading it show the cost in weeks for a New York college but uses a federal minimum wage (7.25/HR) instead of the New York State minimum wage (14.20/HR) which would bring down the weeks to around 16.
*It was pointed out this wasn’t for a New York college so this isn’t perfectly accurate. Though I think referencing the federal minimum wage is a bad idea.
Looks like my reading comprehension failed me. Sorry for the bad assumption.
