Research suggests that working in a bigger city does not always translate to a higher pay cheque. Certain areas are outpacing larger cities in terms of informal sector pay. Kottayam and Wayanad are among the areas with higher pay in the informal sector.

These areas are doing better than some larger cities in this regard. Pune and Mumbai Suburban are examples of cities where informal sector pay is lower.

Further details on this trend are available from the source, which provides more information on the comparison of informal sector pay across different areas.
