As Business Insider's Jessica Mai points out, the median rent price in Manhattan is around $3,300, which makes it the second most expensive US city to live in, according to the March 2016 Elliman Report.
"In fact, only the top 17% of earners in The Big Apple can truly afford to live in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan," Mai writes. "And for buyers, things aren't much better."
Real estate website Zillow found the median price of homes listed in Manhattan to be about $1.93 million.
To afford all that and live comfortably, a lot of New Yorkers seek out high-paying professions.
