The Denver job offer is superior since, in Alexandria, you would need to earn about $62,000 to have the same level of purchasing power.

The amount that a typical person would need to spend on things like food, housing, transportation, energy, clothing, entertainment, and healthcare varies depending on where they live. Cost of living indexes are used to compare these costs. People can afford more if the cost of living is higher in relation to their income. If it is lower, the population is less wealthy. The price of a subsistence level of living is used to determine relief payments, social insurance benefits, family allowances, tax exemptions, and minimum wages. The measurement of changes in the cost of living is essential in pay debates. Although they are related indicators, inflation and cost of living are not the same.
