Context: I’m a US citizen and our government is going to hire and train the next batch of Air Traffic Controllers. When explaining the process and what the pay would be like etc, the site mentions “Locality Pay.” I have quite literally never heard of the term before, and when I look it up everything just skips straight to “How does it work?” But what is it???
In: Other
Certain places have a high cost of living. Therefore, a blanket pay would be horrific for some and terrific for others.
New York, New York will have a higher base pay than Tupelo, Mississippi because the cost of living is higher in NYC.
Cheaper places to live = lower base pay. High cost of living places to live =higher base pay.
