As a counterpoint, I can only pay up to 30. In fact I can afford it, it's just that the game doesn't allow me to pay that high.

In the meantime you can add colonists to the city and private wages will go down - assuming you have population you can spread around

I agree private wages should rise much slower than they currently do though, when a planet starts with less than 4mil post apocalypse i find private wages can get out of hand

I try to create planets with around 1 billion people pre-Apocalypse and 4-5mil post so private economy stays reasonable - however it can often take a while to create a new planet with the all the pre-requisites I prefer

Wow those are high wages! Is there a major labour shortage by any chance? I've found when there are more private jobs than there are available workers wages tend to spike dramatically. disbanding private assets and closing public ones can free up workers and help control costs.
