This is my personal experience. I was born in the Seattle area, but moved to Utah for college (full tuition scholarship). After a few low-paying tech jobs in Utah I was offered a one year networking contract at a software company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After the one year Imoved back to Utah. I couldn't find ANYTHING!! It was very discouraging. I thought that I had good skills and a great resume, but I couldn't get a decent job. After two months my brother recommended Arizona and within a week I had four offers paying WAY more than Utah.
So after a year and a half in Arizona, I had to laugh when I see these articles about "Utah not finding enough qualified engineers". Pay me more than minimum wage, and I might think about it.
