What would Daubert say about those damages? 11.08.2004
The situation:
The plaintiff in a employment discrimination case claims to have been wrongfully terminated by a large employer EnvCorp, and is suing both EnvCorp as well as their former immediate boss at EnvCorp.
The plaintiff now makes 50% more income in the new job that is in the same general industry but in a different geographical region of the USA. The plaintiff was located in Decatur, IL and now will work in SF, CA. The plaintiff alleges that the earnings in the new job is not comparable because the cost of living is higher in the new locale.
What would Daubert say about those damages?

If the cost of living is significantly higher, this would be an economic loss to the plaintiff. Look at some of the following relative cost of living calculators for more details and data.
