Compound Interest Rate Calculation

A worker receives an annual wage of $ \$20{,}000$ , which he always deposits into a savings account at the end of the year. By the end of the third year (when he makes the third deposit), he wants to have at least $\$ 66,200 $ in the account to finance the purchase of a house. What is the minimal compound interest rate that the savings account must provide? Express your answer as a percentage, but do not include the percent sign.
