Ha, ha! Upstate NY! Sadly we are moving out of here next month. We love the people and the place, but not the jobs or the economy.
I grew up here and have noticed... 1. Cost of living is too high when compared to salaries. 2. Cost of living is too high when compared to a lot of other states. 3. In general the population is overeducated for the jobs they perform thus pushing salaries down.
It makes me sad because I would really like to raise my daughter here since it is a very nice place.
Just my 2c from having lived here 22 out of the 32 years of my life.

Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada (90 minute south of Montréal).It was more a contract than a job... but I'm sure I can find more of those if I need to... but I don't :-P.
I had missed that post a in 2008, but I'll answer anyway.
I was just on the phone with a recruiter and he tells me that 70K - 90K / year is pretty much what he sees. That does not include the benefits.
Of course downtown has to pay more than northshore or southshore because of the extra 40 - 80 hours / month to get to work!.
