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.
Hmm, I work for a Houston-based company, and everything I've seen on COL in Houston says it's lower (I had the option of moving there, fuck no), and a lot lower when it comes to housing.
I'm not aware of statistics that say otherwise, where are your numbers from?
(I wonder of those statistics are normalized to local prevailing wages?)
