Show Notes

Today’s episode of HousingWire Daily features an interview with Jacob Channel, the senior economic analyst at Lending Tree. Channel joins HWD to discuss a recent study released by LendingTree that looks at the relationship between employment wages and housing costs in all 50 states. 

During the episode, Channel talks about the methodology behind the study and how affordability has drastically shifted since 2000. He also discusses if a federally mandated $15-an-hour minimum wage would alleviate housing costs.
