Anecdotally, places like /r/nursing are full of stories of traveling positions (out-of-state temp work) offering as much as $10k/week for qualified personnel. If you're already unhappy with your job and management, and pulling say $70k annually for 80-hour weeks and 36-hour shifts, that has to be tempting. Even half that rate would be worth it for a lot of people. Texas, for example, is trying to stop people from doing this in-state[0].

- useragent86 5y agoHm, I wonder who mschuster91 is. Let's click on his username... > You call it "alt-left", I proudly call it "Antifa". It's interesting to see a "proudly Antifa" account on HN with 10k karma complaining about Republicans in Texas. A comment like that would typically be chastised by dang for being predictable, political flamebait, but accounts with 10k karma seem to get away with a lot here.
- chris_wot 5y agoI thought Texas was the state of "freedom"? And now they are actively preventing the free market?
- david38 5y agoLol. Texas is the state of freedom for only a select group. Remember the argument how businesses were “private property” and could refuse service? Fair enough, I’ll go along with that. Except now, private businesses are not allowed to set rules on immunization. Texas is the opposite of free market, just look at its recent energy crisis.
