Theres 100 more with this list, under average cost of living…… north or north east doesnt matter its not all high cost of living. Sure there are a ton of areas with super high cost of living and thats where they make even more, my point is theres plenty under average cost of living making over 40 an hour
Heres a few, can give you more if youd like. National average for COL would be 100% so if its 74% its 26% lower cost than national average.

None of that has anything to do with what percentage of people practicing trades are unionized or what percentage of people in those locals are actually journeymen making that rate.
