There are many, many advantages to having a list
composed of members from across the United States (and
around the world), but salary comparison is not one of
them.  Standards of living (the most significant of
which is housing), are quite different all over, so if
one offers a salary figure, it's going to take someone
aback someplace.

$55-$95K is appropropriate for Manhattan but may be
quite off the mark for Iowa.

There's a tool on my employement web site (a page full
of links related to employment), in the Topics
section, that is called a Salary Calculator.  In doing
these kinds of comparisons, you can take a figure from
one area and translate what one would need in a
different area to live a comparable life style.

My employment page is always at the end of my sigfile,
but the link I'm referencing can be found here:
