Bigger Cities Mean Higher Wages for Educated Workers, Especially Men
The study looked at how living in areas with more job opportunities can affect workers' wages. They found that workers in places with more jobs tend to earn higher wages, especially if they have more education. Losing a job in a busy area can also lead to finding a new job more easily. The researchers used data from the Netherlands to show that the benefits of living in a job-rich area are greater for workers with higher education levels.
