Do job requirements tend to differ state to state?

For example, the requirements for a job in Ohio vs. the requirements for that same job in another state, say California. Does anyone know if the requirements in a bigger state would tend to be a bit higher, or are they relatively the same?

they are all the same the only diff would be the cost of living consideration when thinking about income.. for example someone living in lets say AL wouldn't survive with the same income living in lets say CA

Yeah, I've already taken that into consideration. You can usually tell when the tech support jobs in bigger cities pay what would be considered "a lot" where I live now.

I lived & worked in SC & MI & requirments were the same & so was pay.

That's good news. At least I don't have to worry about that when considering where to look for work. Maybe I'll just get a map of the U.S., blindfold myself, and pick someplace.

Well, you're from OH already, so I guess saying Dayton sucks would be an understatement...........nothing personal, it's a work thing.....

I want to move, for sure. To be honest, I don't even care what state I live in or how far away I move. My only requirements are that the job market be fairly decent and that there is a lot of stuff to see and do.
