Your wage goes furthest in these U.S. cities

According to research from Pew Research Center, Silicon Valley has a high cost of living, but even after adjusting for this still has the highest wages in the country.

The average weekly wage in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., area is $1,706, after adjusting for the area’s cost of living. That’s far higher than any other city in the country. California-Lexington Park, in Maryland, comes second, with $1,277. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Calif., is third, but the high-wage areas aren’t concentrated in California. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash., Huntsville, Ala., and Midland, Texas all rank in the top 10.
