Actually, hers is $12 with cities at $15 JaneyVee Nov 2015 #4

Does that inequality have reasoning behind it? MrMickeysMom Nov 2015 #5

Probably because population = profit. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #6

Or perhaps its because employee wages in cities would hardly have to adjust (Pittsburgh's mayor is a recent example). Most city/municipal employees are at that level to begin with.

A store on Broadway in NYC will get 5000x the foot traffic as a store in Dubuque Iowa.
