Labor Costs. Labor costs are rolled up into the cost of the rest of the project for the purpose of figuring deductions and depreciation. The IRS considers labor costs on improvements and renovations to be a capital expense.
According to a 2014 GAO study, Milwaukee has some of the country's highest health care costs. A total hip replacement costs up to $11,000 more in that city's hospitals than in those of Minneapolis, Boston, Cleveland or St. Louis. Similarly, placement of a coronary stent costs up to $13,000 more in Milwaukee than in most other markets.
I was just hired as a Clinic/Triage RN in the Milwaukee area with starting pay of $28.55. I was quite surprised as it is about $2.50 more/hr than when I was on a hospital floor. They had told me during my HR interview that clinic nurses did not make as much as hospital floor nurses so I was expecting $25/hr.
