Found the study: https://www.pnas.org/content/107/38/16489

It was conducted in 2010, so I wonder if anything would change if it was conducted again today. The current tech industry was in its infancy 10 years ago, and a lot of high paying jobs have been created since.



I wish I could find back the article that I read, years ago, that demolished the $75k claim of that paper, simply by having a different look at the same numbers.


True. Cost of living has spiked a lot in tech hubs, too, but devs are usually on the upper tier of the income curve.


It’s not like NYC wasn’t expensive compared to Kansas 10 years ago.


Of course, but what about Austin or Denver? The tech industry has brought high paying jobs to a lot of smaller cities that weren't accustomed to such high salaries.
