Another bonus for living in Chicago, maybe

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

The esteemed magazine "The Economist" is out with a chart showing how Chicago ranks in an all-important category.

In fact. we're at the very top of the list for our workers being able to work the least amount of time but still be able to buy a Big Mac at McDonald's.

A report examined the price of a Big Mac in 73 cities worldwide, along with the average net wage, and workers in Chicago, Toronto and Toyko fared the best, having to work 12 minutes to score Big Mac.

Mexico City, Jakarta and Nairobi fared the worst.

You can see the graphic here.

Is it because of our crooked ploiticians, our highly taxed rsidents, our great (haha) parking in and about the city, and the list of terrible things about crook county goes on and on and on.............................
