well i'm not really referring to some dude in NY who has to make $8/mo so he can keep is 200 sq ft apartment. i'm talking about states having to compete for minimum wages, companies which rely on minimum wage workers having their costs skyrocket, and companies who aren't location dependent picking up and moving so they get cheaper labor. there's a lot to think about besides just the "well it costs more to live here so i should make more in my bottom of the barrel, non motivated to do anything better with my life" job.
