And there are no wrong or right people in this scenario, but people who are feeling their way through a process. If an employer has a position open for a long time and there are no takers, they need to adjust the job or salary. If a prospective employee turns down job after job, they are either going to find the job and salary they want, or learn their expectations are not based in reality.

That being said, my position in Los Angeles pays a great deal more than a like position in Council Bluffs, Iowa... if there is a like position. But if you look at the bottom of the totem pole, at a receptionist position, you might find a job in LA paying $47k, and another reception job elsewhere in the country for $20k. I think salaries are regional, for the most part.
