Oslo Is Most Expensive City; New York Is Sixth

Oslo, Copenhagen, Zurich, Geneva and Tokyo are more expensive than New York, according to a new study released Wednesday by UBS.

The study analyzes wages, purchasing power and hours worked using a singular currency.

The study compared cities' purchasing power using an 8G iPod Nano:


An average wage-earner in Zurich and New York can buy a nano from an Apple store after nine hours of work. At the other end of the spectrum, workers in Mumbai, need to work 20 nine-hour days - roughly the equivalent of one month's salary - to purchase an iPod nano.

Los 10 primeros las ciudades más caras, según UBS son:
1. Oslo
2. Zurich
3. Copenhague
4. Ginebra
5. Tokio
6. Nueva York
7. Helsinki
8. Viena
9. París
10. Dublín
