> your reference does not relate to my experience in Switzerland Living in Switzerland is clearly way more expensive than living in any of its close neighbors, so please explain me how this is not related to higher wages.

But... aren't wages in Switzerland also higher than their close neighbours? It's the same thing in Norway - everything seems expensive for visitors, but wages are much higher too.

  The point is that once you raise wages, the cost of living automatically goes up. You don't make everyone rich, you end up paying more for everything.

    Wouldn’t this situation make imported goods cheaper for everyone?

Yes, and the quality of life for a physical worker is much higher than for someone from the US. What's your point?
