Blytheville, AR seems to be the new land of opportunity now that Biden/Trump started and kept the steel tariffs going. They've built(/increased capacity) a ton of steel mills there in the last 5 years.
They have 3 different Nucor mills, Majestic Steel is coming too, US Steel as well, and Osceola, AR has Big River Steel.
All of those jobs pay crazy well in a town where rent isn't anything.
The engineers that I know that went there started hourly working 55 hours a week making 75-120k a year and then finally got an engineering position and work 40 hours a week making 120-150k.
