How to add padding-left on a UILabel created programmatically?

Question

I know this is a noob question but ...I have these labels on a tableview, but the text is completely squished to the left. I want to add a bit of padding. How do I go about

You can create a subclass of UILabel and override intrinsicContentSize and - (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size:

- (CGSize) intrinsicContentSize
{
    CGSize parentSize = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    parentSize.width += 2*PADDING_VALUE;
    return parentSize;
}

- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size
{
    CGSize parentSize = [super sizeThatFits:size];
    parentSize.width += 2*PADDING_VALUE;
    return parentSize;
}
