Reply to comment by Yeah_ok_cool_ in Newcomers to New Hampshire and Maine continue to drive population growth: More people are dying than being born, so population growth depends on people moving in from elsewhere by TurretLauncher

It’s hard when all the employers that are here are of the old school mentality where you should just be happy you have a job. I work remotely for a company based in San Francisco. It’s night and day difference how they treat you compared to a Maine based employer.

It's hard when all the employers are actually based out of state, you're right. Outside companies have a vested interest in keeping Maine's wages low.

Comparing remote work in a different sector to what is disproportionately a retail-based state is disingenuous.

Not really. Network engineer for network engineer Maine pays far less. That is my profession. I made $80k at a health care organization and was told I was over paid. I now work for a healthcare company not based in Maine and I make $90k and am told I’m under paid by my employer. Previous employer was Maine based.
