[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 931769, member: 24302"] It's not an exact science, but first and foremost they pay the lowest they can pay and still attract workers. If the local economy is strong with competition for employees then they pay more. Or if an area is so expensive, like the West Coast and the Northeast, that they have to pay X amount just to attract workers, then they pay more. And if an area is expensive but considered highly desirable, like popular towns in the Rockies, they'll often pay the lowest payscales because they can always draw off people who want to live there and are willing to take anything just to hang on. Doesn't matter if you have to commute from an hour away to find affordable housing, etc, take it or leave it. After spending time in some beautiful places I decided that it doesn't matter how nice they are if you can't afford them. And that with today's technology I can live just about anywhere as long as I have Internet and satellite tv. FedEx just doesn't pay enough to enjoy living in the really nice towns I like. [/QUOTE]
