This scale is about money, not quality of life

Yeah, i get paid more money here for fewer hours and less responsibility.

Photoplex

Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto. All ranked in the top 10 worlds most liveable cities by The Economist.

Highest ranked UK location? Somewhere in the 30s or 40s.

No thanks, the UK is a hole these days.

Calgary and Toronto lol.

That's not true with the minimum wage jobs though where it's $10.50 an hour, despite a higher cost of living in Vancouver that us less then what people in the UK bring in

Shard

Wow, that is low. Just googled it and in fact seems to be $10.25, although I suppose if it's hospitality industry the tips are bound to be higher.

What are these camps you speak of?

nldfc

A lot of the oilsands projects , gas plants etc are in the middle of the boonies so work camps are set up close to site for accommodations - quite a few of them are fly in fly out - pretty much like offshore

Ah with you now
