Am I missing something or did the writer just drop this line in the middle of the article with no context:
> But salaries in Michigan for all manager roles are typically around 15% to 20% higher than for comparable roles in the south, she said.
Why on earth would anyone move for a job paying 20% less, regardless of their mortgage status?
- sidpatil 3y agoIf taxes and CoL end up being more than 20% less, then it can be profitable to move.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThey would have to be much more than 20% less. Taxes and living costs are typically far lower than income for the types of jobs that people would consider moving for. 20% higher income is 20% more of a larger number than the 20% higher costs, making it more profitable to live in the high cost of living area.
- readyman 3y agoThe article was written by the writer then edited and titled by the bosses at Bloomberg.
- jacurtis 3y agoYep. I have written for several large publications. We submit the article, usually are required to submit 3-10 possible titles (depending on the publication), and the editors rarely use any of the 10 titles anyway. Fun fact, many publications also make you submit a handful of social media post headlines too. Most people don't realize that the author's content and the title are written by completely different people. Titles are generally designed by committee. A company like Bloomberg will have software in their CMS where 3 different titles are probably added at publish time and the CMS automatically A/B (and C) tests them for the first hour or so to see which performs best before automatically locking in the best performing headline. This is why you sometimes swear an article's headline has changed... it most likely has. This is also true with most major YouTube channels. The thumbnails and headlines are aggressively tested during the first 60-120 minutes before locking in the highest performing combination.

- mgkimsal 3y agoI'm in the south, and not sure I'd want to move back north for 15% more, and... I'm 'stuck' with a cheap mortgage. I don't like cold weather. My wife doesn't mind it. I'd go back for a lot more, but 15% ain't tempting enough.
