Look at Seattle and Portland. Both have higher than average min wage, and lower than average cost of living for large cities. That's one reason these cities, and both states that contain them, are the top destinations to move to in the entire US.
Umm, not that I disagree with you in general, but as far as cost of living goes, you'd find a better example than Portland. You priced rent up here lately?
My point is its better than in places like Huston, where min wage is much lower, but cost of living is higher.
At least according to statistics I was just looking at.
