I don't know.  I've lived in central Iowa for about ten years now.  I
can work for my customers in California and other 'high rent' places for
a decent wage, but with an Iowa expense level.  However, I've noticed
that jobs are getting harder to come by, even so.

If it's so great, than why is it rare?  I ran a quick search on dice.com
for 'RPG or ILE or AS/400 or AS400 or i5 or iSERIES'.  1043 results.
Check the 'telecommute only' box and watch that drop to fifteen.
