Aan article from The Denver Post, reports that in a new survey comparing salaries and living costs in 69 cities, Aurora ranks second only to Plano, Texas. In the survey conducted by Salary.com, Denver landed No. 22 and Colorado Springs was No. 11. According to Bill Coleman, chief compensation officer at Salary.com, it is better to live far away from the big-money people. "They drive real estate prices up so the average person, which most of us are, see their costs of real estate go through the roof," he said. Aurora is near the top of Coleman's list because it's affordable, and many people who live there earn an above-average wage. Wendy Mitchell, Aurora's economic development director said, "This is validation that we are going in the right direction. We're recruiting the right companies and the right people."
