    This always comes down to the fact that labor is competitive. Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year? Competition drives the prices of labor down. Maybe there needs to be better regulation for labor competition like corporations enjoy.

      Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year?

      Assuming the same job’s quality, a possible answer is “because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

        “because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

        How do people live in these areas without making $200k/year?

            So nobody lives in these areas that makes under $200k/year?

            Even the janitors?
