Best cities for salary growth

From Yahoo Hot Jobs:

The recession has been kinder to many college graduates, as new data from online salary database PayScale.com shows. For people with degrees, some cities have shown median wage growth of up to 15 percent since 2007.
Across the nation, wages for college grads rose an average of 3 percent in the past three years, PayScale found.

Read the full story here.

The best market for salary growth was Honolulu, Hawaii ($55,800, +15%). Looks like I’m moving to Hawaii. (just kidding, I heart Albany) The number one worst city for growth? Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I dunno about you, but I’m not moving there any time soon.

Would you be willing to move if it meant a pay increase?
