I disagree with you there. I've been keeping my eye on the various job openings (although not nessecarily local), and it seems the going rate for a Java programmer is about $80k (with several years exeperience), the going rate for a PHP programmer is roughly $55k. However there seems to be a strong demand for Java programmers who "know PHP" and PHP programmers who know Java. I see those jobs going in the $125k range.
That said though, jobs in Utah in general, but especially Utah County, tend to be very low paying compared to pretty much anywhere else. I see a ton of jobs going in the $35 - $45k range and have even seen an ad lately in the newspapers for a C++ programmer with 4+yrs experience going for $12 per hour!
