I agree cost of living differences are complicated and even low paid Americans expecting to drive a car to work, for example, plays a big role in pushing salary expectations up at the bottom end. But I don&#x27;t think there are many parts of the US where you can comfortably rent a house and feed a family on $5k per annum. And I don&#x27;t think most assembly line workers in export processing zones in China earn anywhere near that.
