How To Make a Living Wage in Charlotte

It's been well over a decade since the state of North Carolina last increased the minimum wage, which currently stands at $7.25. While more than half of U.S. states decided to raise minimum wages this year to fill gaps between what people earn and what it costs to make ends meet, the Tar Heel State was not one of them.

For hourly workers, this is a problem - especially once you factor in the rising costs of everyday household items due to inflation. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Living Wage Calculator estimates that a single adult without children would need to make more than double the state's current minimum wage in Charlotte to support themselves.

Instawork offers Charlotte workers the ability to quickly increase their hourly wages and ease the pressures of inflation. Visit www.instawork.com or download the app to learn more.
