Anyway, carrying on with the discussion, there's plenty of those positions that pay better than average, or even way better than average, but the skilled people just aren't in the area yet.
Obviously you can pay a million dollars an hour to get people to come from anywhere.
My point is: pay is only one of many market forces impacting this specific industry. Markets are inefficient.
Sometimes, it's just not knowing how to do hiring! How to properly advertise roles, without leaving out signals that make or break employees calling you.
