The response was typical and very upsetting, sure they had an open spot that would fit my qualifications, but the actual comment made by the company was that I will have to pay the "sunshine tax" to live in the Okanagan.

I don't understand why this isn't more of an openly debated topic of discussion because it's something that all people are faced with when looking for a job here.

It's not that companies make any less money here than companies in Vancouver, the company I work for now after my thorough job search, allows me to make about $20k more than when I worked in Vancouver, but the size definitely makes a difference since I went from a company of 150 employee's to a company of 4,000 and this company is know for their reputation for profit sharing and employee growth, so I got lucky!

I would like to know where this "tax" began and why it's so popular?
