It's the same state...just 20 minutes away on the rich side of town. I've learned its all relative.
Yup. The center I work for is part of a chain and there is a $40 difference between our location in the higher end part of town and the lower end. And there's a $70/week difference between my center's rates and my city's average. Since lower rates means lower pay for workers, among other things, I don't work in the city I live in.
And, yes, being poor causes stress which can lead people to smoking. (And I'm thinking drinking, too?)
