About the Site

Job COLumn is a job board that considers the cost of living.

It compares the minimum salary in a listed job with your current salary! Magic!

It doesn't display jobs that don't list a salary nor any jobs outside of a set list of the larger cities in the UK.

Of all the jobs that do have salaries, it will show you which jobs will give you a better quality of life in terms of purchasing power.

git clone https://github.com/OmarZubaidi/Job-COLumn.git
