Cost Of Living Continues To Rise...
A report published shows that Dublin is continuing to get more expensive at a faster rate than many other cities.
Following is a table of the top 10 cities in the Mercer Human Resource Consulting Cost of Living Survey.
I've added in Dublin, showing the last three years.
Code:
March 2005 March 2004 March 2003
1. Tokyo 1. Tokyo
2. Osaka 2. London
3. London 3. Moscow
4. Moscow 4. Osaka
5. Seoul 5. Hong Kong
6. Geneva 6. Geneva
7. Zurich 7. Seoul
8. Copenhagen 8. Copenhagen
9. Hong Kong 9. Zurich
10. Oslo 10. St. Petersburg
13. Dublin 14. Dublin 21. Dublin
London is 10 places above Dublin but the wages over here are much higher.
Makes depressing reading but it could be worse, I suppose.
