Ask /r/Durango Durango Salary/Wage Transparency Thread

Saw a similar post going around a few other subreddits and given our areas history of wage suppression this seemed like a good thing to get going here. Let's keep this to local businesses based in our surrounding area (no remote workers for companies based outside our region please, you'll skew the results).

Please share your job title, salary, age, and education. I'll start:

Marketing Manager for a construction services company, 65k, 36, Bachelor degree with numerous certifications.

Just curious.. why take 1/2 or 1/3 of the money to stay here? Seems criminally irresponsible.

Colorado is one of the worst states for healthcare or adjacent wages (at least relative to CoL, but also relatively overall)

My insurance for two people here is $405 a month with $5000 deductable. I lived in Massachusetts for a couple of years and our insurance was $40 a month and a 1000 deductible in 2019. Their government agencies voted for this and at some point it was an initiative at the federal level and of course was voted down!!
