East camp wages are not too low. Why is the market for food and small shops getting more expensive

Speaking of whichEast battalionA lot of people remember each otherIncomeThe housing prices are not high as a whole, until the province is close. There are many locals who are impressed by the fact that wages are not as good as they can be, and that they are more expensive to buy and eat in small shops。

Many people tend to confuse the reality: the average income is high and not equal to the average wage。

A large part of the east battalion's revenues were raised by oil fields and large chemical enterprises. The wages paid to workers in the oilfields and major plants are good, but the incomes of a large number of private enterprises and service workers are not as high。

That's how it feels: statistics look rich, ordinary people live and feel..PriceNot too much pressure。

The market, the street shopConsumptionWhy are you so sensitive

1 population is scattered and business is difficult to “silently sell”

East camps are widely populated, east-west cities are far away, and the population is scattered across various regions. The same market for food, the same restaurant on the street, is not the same as a small district in a large city that can sustain huge traffic。

Owing to limited commercial traffic, it is not possible to reduce unit prices by volume, but only to spread the costs over each dish and meal. The cost of entry is itself higher when there are fewer large businesses, small traders enter and collect goods, and the bargaining power is weak。

High human costs in services

The demand for local workers in factories is high, competition for jobs is high, and the wages of employees in catering and vegetable markets are high. The rental of small shops and utilities are all hard expenses and the increase in labour costs is ultimately reflected in the prices of food and food。

Three-tier division: cheap markets and expensive stores

The east camp is not always expensive. Large agro-trade markets, rural and urban masses, and the prices of seafood for vegetables are very high; however, the prices are much higher for convenience stores and community restaurants at the entrance to the district。

A large number of people spend their day-to-day tasks near the outskirts of the region, with little specialization in large markets, creating a sense of “price everywhere”。

The low price of 4 houses does not mean that the full cost of living is low

In other cities in the province, the pressure on the east camp to buy houses is indeed friendly. But buying a house is only one of the expenses of living, and meat, food, and education cars are not going to make it cheaper. The pressure on mortgages is low, and the cost of rice salt does not automatically decline。

The psychological breakdown of consumption habits

The old camp remembers that early prices are low. In these years, prices have risen across the country, and it is easier to feel that things are getting more expensive than they were 10 years ago。

Objectively speaking, the east battalion is not a high-consumption city, but there is a clear structural contradiction:

Large factories raise average wages and income is uneven among ordinary people; housing prices are friendly, but urban wellsCost of livingNot low。

To save money, to run large markets, to catch up, to save a lot of daily expenses。
