[QUOTE="dex 84, post: 1849734, member: 59952"] If it was based on cost of living it would be fine. Doing the same job has nothing to do with it. If where you live a mid sized house is $300,000 more than it is where I live then I'd expect you to make a bit more for doing the same job. It has nothing to do with cost of living though. It's how little they can get away with paying people in a certain area based on what other opportunities are available in that area. It made no sense to me until a coworker explained it to me but this is why the pay rate will be $1.50/hr more in one area than the other even though they might have identical cost of living. It's all about what else is out there. If the job market is flush with competitive opportunities at higher pay rates then your market level will be higher. This is why it pays to work in the city.
