The Red State Living wage is a lot lower than the blue state rate.
From The Council for Community and Economic Research:
The higher the cost of living in a state, the harder it is for people of similar means with those in other states to make ends meet. The Council for Community and Economic Research measures cost of living based on a composite of price information from participating cities and metropolitan areas in each state. The most recent analysis is from 2018.
