Your pay wouldn't go up immediately unless you have a decent boss. But the economy would mostly catch up in a year or two.
I also feel like in scummy america world, all the prices of everything will just shoot up like rent and food. So then me, with the previously higher paying job, would be making less overall
That's going to happen anyway champ.
