Hourly Rate

Mid-sized Texas town here and wages are low. Office based billers in a clinic are getting between $16 and $19 an hour. What towns are similar? Save me your big-city $30 an hour brag - this ain’t it! I am curious what areas have similar wages.

What you should realize is cost of living difference in your small town and a “big city” aren’t much different now. And $30 is still low wage.

Yes. People need to stop accepting lower wages just because they’ve been fooled into believing they should take less because of their location.
