On the contrary,
9$ is 360 dollars a week. 18, 720 a year. The per capita income in my town is 15,000, the median income for males is 28k, and the median income for women is 21 k. So I guess roughly 40% of females "can't live".
Plenty do live on that amount of cash. Now if the government would remove themselves from our wallet, 18,720 would be a fairly easy existence. Unfortunately it does not do this.

If the per capita income is $15K and the medians for males and females are higher than that then it stands to reason that you're including kids in there somewhere. And yes, I'd wager a guess that 40% of the females are the second income in two income families and would have a hard time making it without the other income.
