What this looks like in Massachusetts

Massachusetts sits well above the national pay line for electric motor, power tool, and related repairers, local pay runs about 12% higher than the U.S. median of $56K. The catch: housing math doesn't keep up. A 2-bedroom at the HUD median rents for $2,347/month, which is 57.1% of the median worker's take-home, past the 30% guideline most planners use.
