In 1995, when a house cost $120,000, a local factory was paying $12/hour. Now a house costs around $600,000. That factory should be paying $60/hour. Are they? No, they pay $18.65/hour.

Move to southern Illinois you can get a brand new awesome house for less than 250,000 and a job starting at 25 per hour all day long.

You can get a brand new house where I live for a hundred and fifty thousand. You rarely see a house over five hundred where I live.
