No, I live in Georgia right now-moving to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks (transfer). However, I have friend all over. I went to college at UConn-my husband went to Manhattan. If you are saying MS can’t get skilled people to work for 60 K in New York. This might be true. Since, it is extremely hard to live on 60 K there. MS. should pay a fair wage based on the area you live in...you just made my point. MS wants to pay substandard wages-not find the best and the brightest.

As I said in my post, I’m in Illinois.

$60,000 a year is good money for an entry-level job. The last guy I made an offer to wanted $250,000 a year.

I can get contract labor with the same skills this guy had for $40,000 a year.

So we filled our permanent positions with foreigners who would accept entry-level positions for $60,000 a year.

If MS is seeing what we’re seeing I’m not surprised at what they did.
