What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A SmartAsset analysis found that despite consistent inflation, a $100,000 salary is gaining real value in many US cities. These shifts, which reflect changes in local taxes and living costs, show that where a person lives affects how far their paycheck goes. For example, the real value of $100,000 increased by 6.93% in Orlando, Florida, and 3.85% in Jacksonville, Florida, between 2024 and 2025.
