Not necessarily. Look at them outside of the United States. Software engineers typically make anywhere between 20-60k a year depending on location (east Asia being the worst).

But almost everything is highly paid in the US as compared to east Asia. Even minimum wage is higher in the US as compared to east Asia. To me, it looks like the median is higher in the US and so is the cost of living.

Cost of living is also way lower in most of East Asia.
