    American wages vary as greatly with degrees as cost of living does with location.

      Lower cost of living areas pay lower wages though, so unless you remote work a high paying job or commute, the numbers are lower but the ratios are the same.

        No, that’s not necessarily true at all. Nor is the concept unique to America. Plenty of smaller cities that aren’t NY, LA, etc. I live in one.
