<<I would think
traditionally low-paying areas (deep South for one) are probably desperate
for good employees, but whether they're ready to start paying on par with
other markets is still a question.>>
I'm in the Tampa Bay market, and I'm here to tell you, I almost fall out of
my chair every time I see what Silicon Valley and NYC are paying writers.
But I only pay $550/month for a 2-bedroom apartment and I've never had to
dig my car out of a snowbank, so it's a tradeoff. Still, I hoot when I run
across some schmuck who really thinks a qualified TW anywhere will work for
$15/hr.
