Your county certainly isn't doing much to attract teachers with wages
like those.


You can't really reach much in the way of conclusions without knowing
the
relative cost of living there compared to that where you're located.


Salary in Hampton Roads-SE Virginia VA: $42,000
Comparable salary in Denver CO: $43,531.1

If you move from Hampton Roads-SE Virginia VA to Denver CO...
Groceries will cost: 11.682% more
Housing will cost: 10.694% more
Utilities will cost: 20.496% less
Transportation will cost: 4.651% less
Healthcare will cost: 0.637% more



Exceptthe average teacher wage in zHampton Toads is not 43k but 48k
and some of what you have there does not gybe with the calculator I
used...

Same here. In general the cost of living along the 'right coast' exceeds
that of Denver.

Did I miss something, Katy? Are you contemplating a move to the Mile High
City?
