"Cost of living" correlates fairly well with the available jobs and incomes in a region. You generally can't move to a LCOL region while also having a high paying job. Which is why the possibility of full remote work was so exciting for so many people.
True, though COL tends to lag the actual jobs (both up and down) for various reasons.
Which we definitely saw with remote work - both pros and cons.
