I think that's way off.
If you look in the classified ads in our Daily Sun, there's nothing more than a dollar over minimum wage.

I think this from the report sums it up:
"Seasonal factors appear to play a major role in determining aggregate wages in the area. Area wages are typically far higher in the fourth quarter of the year, potentially because of retirees spending the winter months in The Villages and the area hosting bigger events while they are in town. In the first three quarters of 2013, average weekly wages were below $680. In the fourth quarter, however, the average wage was $870 per week."
Not a meaningful local area statistic, but interesting how money and income move around the country. Suspect areas of AZ and South Texas have similar trends throughout the year.
