I thought this was interesting. What do you guys working in Georgia, Virginia, and Idaho think about being in "states which are less developed" and when are you going to start working for $1000/year?
I have family all over Virginia. "Less developed" is probably a good thing. It's a beautiful state. Lots of history.
There's something very wrong with and/or not being stated in the premise here. They probably need people in the United States because things aren't working out so well with an all-Indian work force.
As far as the numbers go, you couldn't survive anywhere in the United States on $1000/yr. Heck, the federal minimum wage is currently $5.85/hr which translates to $16,380 if you work 40 hours a week, fifty weeks per year. Here in California, In-N-Out burger (http://www.in-n-out.com/) starts people at $9.50/hr! That's $26,600/yr just to make hamburgers! (Really good ones though!)
