Who is supposed to work those jobs then? Even if Yelp relocated their non engineering staff, paying them minimum wage in some other city won't help them.

- fixermark 11y agoActually, it can. It's not just the payment; it's payment against cost of living. $9 an hour might afford a house in the suburbs of a small city, or an apartment in a smaller city. It doesn't scratch the paint on the cost of a basic apartment in the Valley.

- kelukelugames 11y agoThis is part of the reason zapped moved their call center out of the bay area and into Nevada.
- qq66 11y agoSure it will help them. Paying a $1200 rent in San Francisco is much harder with a $10 wage than paying a $200 rent in Alabama with a $8 wage. It may not help them enough, but it will help.
