I am a nurse. Moved from the NE to FL (Jacksonville) in 2006 & to TV in 2017. There are all sorts of nursing jobs here. Yes, the hourly wage is less than some other places, however…when I got my 1st pay I thought I made a mistake on my tax form & not enough was being withheld for taxes. From your pay you only have FICA & Federal income tax…that is it! Now if you want health insurance or to contribute to a retirement fund, that is your choice. Your take home pay will be as much or more than where you moved from because of less withholding tax. As far as cost of living…I have found it less in more instances than the same or more.
