Most poeople think that by moving out of Bismarck they can get paid more. If those same people sat down and figured out their cost of living and what they would be getting paid at this new job they would find out that the cost of living is a lot higher.
I used a moving/relocation calculator on http://swz.salary.com/ to prove my point. According to the websire the cost of living in Bismarck is 20.9% lower than the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, while Bismarck employers only pay about 15.4% less than employers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
I used the same calculator to show the cost of living difference between Denver and Bismarck. The cost of living in Bismarck is 22.6% lower than in Denver. Employers in Bismarck usually pay just 13.8% less than employers in Denver.
If a person does the math they can clearing see that moving to either of these places isn't any more profitable than living in Bismarck.
