MFLA CPI
You can use your knowledge of CPI to negotiate salaries.
For example: My friend, Allison, was applying for jobs and was offered a position in two different locations.
Wilmington, NC offered her $55,000
City X offered her $51,000
The cost of living in Wilmington NC is much higher than city X.
The CPI
= 101.8 and CPI
Wilmington
If you take Wilmington's CPI and compare it to City X, then
Given CPI
city x
en CPI
Greeley
= 91.08
which means $1 in city X is equivalent to $1.1177 in Wilmington.
This also means $51000 in City X is equivalent to $57002.70 in Wilmington.
In terms of the amount of money, Wilmington was offering more ($55,000 vs. $51,000), but in terms of purchasing
power, City X was offering more money. Allison used this to her advantage and asked Wilmington if they would be willir
to match City X's value of money and they did! So Allison was offered a job at $57,000 instead of $55,000.
= 112.2 and CPI
