That is very interesting to me.

I live in Bristol County, MA and lots of jobs in Providence, Warwick etc pay significantly better rates.

I don't understand why you would travel 30 minutes to Attleboro for a lower wage.

I do it, and the answer is really industry. Not a whole lot of manufacturing going on in Providence, but I still want to live near a city, so I'm driving out to a factory in Norton every day to do engineering and product dev stuff. Definitely taking a price hit, but I don't want to live in Attleboro.

All to each own I guess, I'd rather live in say Berkeley and work in Norton or Providence and be 30 minutes from both Boston and Providence for the weekends.

And there is lots of manufacturing going on around Kingstown
