Hi, not an H&S question, hopefully it will be ok. I have an oportunity and would wish to for personal reasons, to work in the usa - west virginia to be exact. Salary is around $50k usa. Is this about right for H&S work in USA also how does this equate to the cost of living..e.g buying/renting a house and general living expenses. I was in Canada last year and on the whole it seemed the everyday essentials are lower in price than here particularly house prices, cars, fuel and food. I have heard the usa is generally cheaper.. any info.

Having visited the States 3 times I generally translate prices on a £1 for $1 basis. i.e. if smoething here costs £10,000 then the cost in the US would be roughly $10,000 (and this is still on the generous side). This usually works for most things with the exception of petrol, which is less than half the UK price (and the Americans think that is expensive) and alcohol which, generally, compares with UK prices.

Don't forget that you need to factor in a not insubstantial amount each month for medical insurance - there's no free NHS there.
