Yeah you can buy your dream house in the middle of nowhere for 200k but if you're a teacher, nurse or electrician job opportunities are likely scarce. People don't just live in cities for the opera.

You listed 3 occupations where opportunities aren’t that scarce and every town needs those people.

Every town, including big cities where the above situation would occur.

Which would imply that big cities have to pay more for those professions to compensate for the cost of living there, since they have the option to live somewhere cheaper.

And indeed, they do pay more.

Are you seriously asking for a citation that shows every city needs electricians and teachers?

I'm asking for a citation that there is more demand for plumbers in small towns than in big cities, which is your assertion, unsupported by any evidence.
