pointing out the obvious

In an interesting turn of events (which totally makes sense now that I think about it), businesses are considering off-shoring within the country. So, for example, a company based in Toronto would offshore to Sioux Lookout, Ontario - where the cost of living is lower, thus salaries are cheaper. This keeps companies happy by exploiting cheap labour, and people employed in smaller cities.

I would seriously consider a pay cut to live in a remote area for a few years. If anyone is actually reading this, I would relocate to the Northwest Territories, the Yukon or Newfoundland, so long as they have a decent net connection and Apple delivers hardware out there.

Checkout Rob’s post, it’s interesting.
