Thanks for the insight. Something to consider, especially for kids as they look for careers that will stand the economic turmoils we’re facing.

I always thought California led the country in terms of salary — interesting to see that that is not the case. New York pays better than California and also has lower unemployment; however, it would be hard to leave the Golden State…

Interesting to see, based upon the above numbers, how the unemployment rate increase by an average of &&.64% overall, and by 86.03% in the western states.

Another thing to take into consideration is the cost of living versus outright salary of a region or local. The average managers salary in Denver may provide a signifacant better living standard than that of New York when adjust for the cost living.

Also one should consider the stability of the various job markets. Dallas, TX only had a 56.82% increase in unemployment versus Denver’s 71.74%.

As a professional in a mixed role of both HR and Finance, I find this information very useful! JFMP Turner makes a good point (below) regarding regional cost of living variances. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the salaries and cost of living expenses.
