As evidence of this, HomeFair.com's salary calculator says a salary of $100,000 in Manhattan is equivalent to $32,000 in Spartanburg. Doubt this is accurate to the penny, but if even close it sounds like $75K has you living like a king (or queen) in Spartanburg.

Especially on the extreme ends of the scale such as a small town in a rural region or say Manhattan or San Fransisco. I think it's very difficult to judge pay scales in areas where you haven't been monitoring the job market for a while. It's like comparing apples and oranges because there are too many variables. My two cents.

I'm wondering what "frequent" means...? Am I the only one that thinks the pay scale is a bit low, with this caveat? To me, the paradigm seems to be the new guys out there change jobs frequently, for better money and experience and then, a bit later on, they find a place that appreciates them for who they are, pays them what they are worth and doesn't want to let them go. Granted, the current economic downturn may have changed that picture a bit... With what they are offering in pay, I'm not sure they will find anyone with any long term experience. What does anyone else think?
