Two people working the exact same job, in the same nation, but differently compensated because of where the live just sounds off to me.

Why do you assume a job is not a commercial transaction and is unaffected by the laws of supply and demand?
Broadly speaking, if there is an over supply of something the cost of that thing goes down.
So if there are 1000 apple pickers and 100 apple picker jobs, the value of that job goes down. Employers will pay less for that job because there will be 10 other people who will ask for less.
However if there are 100 apple pickers and 1000 apple picker jobs, wages will go up. Nothing else has changed only the amount of available workers. The job is exactly the same.
As you said “Two people working the exact same job, in the same nation, but differently compensated”
Wages do not depend only on the job being done.
