High Technology at a Low Cost + Low Cost of Living = Low Worker Wages
Perfect for call centers and such, which is why you NEVER see call centers in major metropolitan areas.
$12 a hour in BFE, Kansas where you can buy a house for $50,000 is adequate, but try living in any of the top 50 metro areas for that.

I beg to differ. San Antonio is full of call centers with more planning to come. |

It's also only the 45th largest metro area with an average median family income of $35k/year with a per-capita income of about $21k.
Perfect call center land. 2080 work hours in a year divided by $21,000 = $10/hr.
I'd say my comment was right on the mark for Tulsa. Perhaps not for Denver/San Antonio, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

said by Matt :Perfect for call centers and such, which is why you NEVER see call centers in major metropolitan areas. How about: I think you're probably right, except that only applies on the east & west coast. Further inland, the cost of living is pretty low in even the large cities. |
