Highest Purchasing Power Gaps

Country pairs with the largest real-wage gap at a $100K gross salary. The widest gaps pair a low-cost economy, where a fixed-dollar salary stretches furthest in purchasing-power terms, against a high-cost one, so a single low-price country tends to anchor most of the top gaps.
