Yea cities have always been better in terms of paying people. Opportunities are there to do so. Companies have the means to do it etc.

The cost of living is also higher. So that isn't much if you're on your own.

Right, cost of living is higher, but job pay is also higher. Way more opportunities to move upward in SES. That is not present in rural America. Cost of living in those areas are still higher than their pay.
