This has to be incorrect. This has to be hours per months, not per week. I'd say, state wise, cities and small towns together, the average price for a 2 bed apartment being around $1200 per month. At a $9 per hour rate, that's about 133 hours of work. This is just a wild guess on my part, but sounds about right.

Rent is paid monthly, not weekly.
