Has compensation improved much to match crazy house prices?
With the California like housing prices is UT any closer to California salaries?

Utah is still 30% or more cheaper in housing than California. That said, Utah had a YoY increase in wages

15% increase YoY in the tech sector? LOL no.

Not close. Last year I looked into a job at a newly listed public tech company in Utah - would be a 65%+ pay cut.

TNT was talking to someone in health care who said their salary was half in Utah what it was in California

What position? I'll gladly share with you most jobs being posted in California and Utah

Tech trans attorney. My current company has me with golden handcuffs, and I'd take a paycut going pretty much

Attorneys and dentists have in general got paid crap in Utah because there are too many of you

Depends. I've been on my fair share of "interviews" over the past 18 months

I always hear this on here but then they say they are getting offers from New York or California
CSoul

I've gotten remote offers from companies in Cali, Washington, TX and MN

So other than Minnesota the areas I mentioned? Remote first work has definitely changed the game.

Ummm not even close to Calif prices.

Ironically in a lot of markets, yes. Utah, no.

That's just not true. Would like to see where you are even getting that from.
CSoul

You are looking at average personal income. I am looking at median household.
rad dawg
10/15/21 8:47am
Again, show me where you are seeing that data. Before 2020 Utah was increasing, it decreased in 2020
CSoul
10/15/21 8:49am
A lot if it is estimates right now admittedly for 2021
rad dawg
10/15/21 8:57am
You said it was decreasing and then linked a current state median income. Those aren't the same.
CSoul
10/15/21 9:13am
I dont disagree that it was rising until 2020.
rad dawg
10/15/21 9:31am
My guess is certain government payments are being counted. And for your argument household median
CSoul

Median salaries is not what underwriters use and is less relevant.

The OP was talking about compensation, so the entire premise was on salaries. "Has compensation improved"

"compensation to match crazy home prices"

Inflation is outpacing compensation increases. Checks grew by 4%...

I wonder if there are significantly more dual incomes recently driving up costs

Not near close in proportion to the cost of living increase

We've looked at moving back to Utah. No chance. Nurse salaries are a joke.

Businesses have shifted from the norm of granting an average of 3% cost of living increases to now around 1.5%.

I think the hope is that home prices get crushed at some point. Wage inflation

Looking at house prices alone, no. Looking at cost of home ownership - better but still no.
