    A lot of us aren’t getting paid a bit more. Especially those of us in rural industries. And yeah goods and services are a bit more, rent is a lot more, even in places a lot of people don’t want to live.

        Maybe you won’t feel the increase in wages until next time you change jobs.

        Must be nice to live in an area where there are options like that.
