What's a newspaper editor's salary in Florida?

• My mom wants to move there for a job offer to be the health & fitness director/editor at a well-known weekly newspaper in Florida. How much will she get paid? Here were she is currently working as a journalist her income is $30,000 annually, which is good enough for her, because of her high mortgage and her many daily expenditures... Plus health care, car insurance, home insurance etc... So my question is, what will her director/editor salary be, and will it be enough to lead a comfortable life? Comfortable I guess has to be more specific... So pretty much, will she be able to live a middle-to-upper-middle-class life? Thank you so much for your answers! I'd greatly appreciate a detailed response!!

• Answer:

  No one can give you a detailed response because her salary negotiations will be between her and her potential employer. $30,000 per year as a single income in Miami isn't anywhere near middle-to-upper-middle-class lifestyle. Sorry, but it's not even close. 20 percent of the nation's households make between $34,000 and $51,000, only 15 percent of Miami's households are in that income bracket. Miami-Dade County's median household income is $35,966, far below the national median income of $41,994. The city of Miami's median household income is even lower at $23,483. Go to this website and enter the city you currently live (or the closest city to you on this list) in the first box and then enter Miami in the second box and it will give you a good idea. http://swz.salary.com/costoflivingwizard/layouthtmls/coll_metrodetail_107.html
