I live in KZ, I'm not sure if I'm qualified as a contractor as I mostly work for the same company, but technically I'm contractor. My current rate is around $15. I'm making like 3x of everyone around me, so not really poor.

I think this highlights an issue with this poll: the potentially huge disparity in cost of living.
Where I live (Western Canada) this is below our minimum wage mandated by law. But renting a single bedroom apartment is also nearing $2000/month.

I own single bedroom apartments and my monthly payment is $20 for electricity, water, etc and $10 for Internet. Plus $10 at winter for heating.
Renting single bedroom apartment must be something around $500 here for good apartments and down to $200 if you're not very picky (we don't really use concept of bedroom, we use total number of rooms excluding kitchen, and one-room apartments probably are most popular for renting).
