The article explicitly says they’re paying everyone the same pay across localities now.
But for the many company’s that don’t, the justification is simply that the cost of Human resources is not based around output but around market dynamics like other resources. Fresh fruit in Japan costs more than it does in California not because the Japanese fruit is better per se, but because the cost of production is higher.

- pc86 4y agoI don't accept the premise, but student loans and healthcare are high costs that US folks bear that UK folks don't. You keep trying to pretend that the local labor market is irrelevant. Until you accept that it isn't, or at the very least accept that companies don't think it is, you're going to keep talking past everyone here.
