In these parts, hourly pay is not directly related to benefits (health
policy, retirement program, etc).  Sure, a company might pay more per
hour, but have "cheaper" benefits.  Years ago, a Kodak plant in
Colorado paid lower wages, but their benefits were quite good.

I might add when shareholders are involved, they increase the business
cost forever.  For instance, when a government builds a building, its
paid for via taxpayers or bonds, but with shareholders' money, the
building never gets paid off.

Market rate tends to be associated with goods or services, btw
