I do believe this applies primarily to the silicon valley. Salaries in most other places in the US are far lower than in northern California.
Our company has shifted some of the software development work from California to places further east for this reason: it's very hard to justify paying the California salaries when you can hire people with similar skills for far less elsewhere.
