Can anyone tell me what the approximate pay rate is for secretarial work and construction (skilled trades). We want to relocate to JC or Bristol and I cannot find what approximate scale of pay we could except to be offered. We have 3 children and cannot make it on the 8 and 9 dollar jobs that I have seen advertised. What could I expect as a Dr. office secretary or hospital clerical work? I do not want to buy our house there and then not be able to "make it". Any information anyone can give me would be great!

My step-mother works as a secretary in a doctor's office. She started at around $10/hr a year or two ago. I know she gets benefits and raises periodically. That's just the starting rate right now, I guess. Not sure about construction, I expect it would be considerably higher.
The upside is the housing prices are much lower than other parts of the country (believe me, we just moved to Denver!), so people are able to afford more on less money. Good luck!
