In the 1600s, wages for labor were higher in Pennsylvania than in England because there were less people to work. Knowing that the land was cheaper and the wages were higher was one reason many people immigrated to America.
The scarcity of workers was the reason that wages were higher in colonial Pennsylvania than in England. Many people immigrated to America during the 1600s because the wages were higher and the land was cheaper.
No! London (England) is very expensive!
No, I think living in a hole in a hollow tree would be cheaper... and classier.
New England had many products/goods that England didn't have. If they traded with other places, they would become richer because they would sell them for a cheaper price than England.

As it is very warm there, unlike in England and they will be better quality, and weirdly it would be cheaper if they are grown in Spain and more expensive if they are grown in England.
It was free and you can't get much cheaper. When the colonist landed in the New World they saw empty land compared to England where it was owned by someone. Your question makes it seem like there was a real estate agent standing on the shore just waiting for the ship to pull up. There was NOTHING there, so they chopped down trees, built fences, and took what they wanted ( even forget about the Native Americans who all ready lived there, but that is another story).
How am I supposed to know!?Why didn't you ask Google in the first place!?They would have at least gave you a real answer.Most people in New England earned a living by working in factories and mills.
Cheaper than where. London is the most expensive city in the UK and there is no such thing as cheap living in London but clearly a small flat would be cheaper than a 4 bedroom house. However, for the price of a small flat in London you could probably buy a 4 bedroom house in a cheaper part of the UK.
Probably getting thrown in jail, that England would hurt the Quakers even more, and that Pennsylvania will not become a good colony.
They lived by the water so it would be a good resource for them
