Salaries vary widely with the town

The same job brings different salaries depending on location, reports a survey by Dunhill Personnel System, a major middle-management recruiting firm. The results show that an executive secretary earning $13,000 in Boston could be making $16,000 to $22,000 in Washington. A New Orleans computer analyst with two to five years' experience could leave his $18,000 salary for a $30,000 one in Boston. And if electronic engineers with two to four years are willing to give up the sun of Albuquerque for the snow of Detroit, they can trade $22,000 -to-$26,000 salaries for $26,000-to-$30,000 salaries
