Ask HN: Why is pay so much higher in the US? (or is it?)

Even compared to other developed nations in Europe and most certainly compared to my country (Korea), the pay range I see for remote jobs from US seems to be in a totally different ball park. There must be numerous contributing factors, but I can’t quite grasp how come. Or maybe not all jobs are paid so well or living costs compromise all that, but do they?
