Millions Of Americans Can't Afford Their Rent. Now They're Living In Sheds And Storage Units

Описание: Welcome to The States Economy!

For generations, a steady job in America meant a steady roof. Work hard, pay your bills, and you’d have a place to live. That quiet promise shaped everyday life.

Today, it’s quietly unraveling.

Rent across the United States has surged far beyond wage growth, fueling a deepening housing crisis. Apartments that once rented for $800 now demand $1,800 or more. In many cities, rent consumes 40–60% of take-home pay. Meanwhile, paychecks have barely moved. The math that once protected working families no longer adds up.

In this video, we break down the real numbers behind rising rent, stagnant wages, rental affordability barriers, and the growing group of full-time workers facing housing insecurity. Seniors, veterans, families, and employed Americans are being squeezed by record housing costs and a cost-of-living shift that feels sudden — but has been building for years.

This isn’t about bad choices. It’s about a system where shelter is no longer guaranteed by work alone.

If you’ve felt rent climbing faster than raises, or sensed that something fundamental has changed, this video explains what happened — and why daily life feels different now.
