>I’ve been trying to compare an offer in the US and one in Montreal. The raw number for the US blows Canada out of the water, obviously, but adding in healthcare and childcare really starts to close the gap.
The disposable income figure that boc quoted includes things like healthcare.
- mattkrause 4y agoYou need to look at the adjusted disposable income to include “social transfers in kind”. The US still leads there, but not as dramatically. Even so, I’m not convinced that these numbers are actually that meaningful. They might tell you how many new Macbooks someone can afford, but do you think the median person’s quality of life is actually 50% worse outside the US? That seems implausible to me!
