The jobs pay in the range of $60,000, some more, some less. That hardly seems like "nothing".
There is also the benefit to the local ecomony, through rents and home purchases, local shopping, etc.
Besides, it is a nice rural area...clean, quiet, unhurried. The only thing "fast" will be the fiber.
I was going to mention the $60,000 a year thing but you beat me too it.
