This is how prices are set. If you think labour is "value added less some employer fair cut", think again.

This also feeds directly into high land costs making industry less competitive or even infeasible, requiring for example offshoring.

This entire thing is quite interesting. For example you might want to live in the middle of nowhere out of choice, however it might be more economically beneficial, after you subtract rent costs, to live in a suburb or near enough to a major city to qualify for the higher pay due to the higher median salary. Or it may be the inverse, getting too close is a problem. Part of this would depend on how FB choose to compute this.
