Rich and I talked about this earlier this year, but the way in which low supply and high demand for officials increases game fees is fascinating. Not so much because of supply and demand itself, but because these high game fees tend to exist in parts of the country with the lowest per capita household incomes. Why? Because there are so many rural school districts, each with their own varsity teams. Big urban schools or small rural ones, they all get the same number of games.
If you want lots of opportunity and you like to get paid handsomely, the far upper Midwest and Great Plains are where to move. I don't know about the intermountain West, but I imagine it's not too bad out there, either.
