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???

There’s a base pay for a job. Different parts of the country have higher costs of living, however, so some places gain an extra percentage over the base rate. The country is divided into a bunch of different “localities” (just geographical areas) and assigned a specific percentage.
