Jerry's Story (Clip 1 of 5)
In the first clip associated with the Waging a Living lesson plan, Jerry Longoria, who works as a security guard, talks about how much money he makes and how much he pays for rent at a residence hotel. Students should pay attention to how much he earns and what it buys him. Students should calculate a living wage based on steps in the lesson plan, and compare that wage to Jerry's wage.
