The really low wage earnings live in the outer boroughs or in tough parts of Manhattan and share a small space with lots of other people. Or, if they are lucky, they get an apartment in a housing project, where crime is often high, but the rents are low. Or they may qualify for programs like Section 8 and others which help low income people pay rent.

Even young people who have graduated from college share apartments.
