I am working as a CFI for an academy in CA. They are hiring as many as they can and their pay is one of the best I've seen for CFIs. My friend is also working in Vegas and I know in October they were looking to hire 5-6 in the next month. My friend also got a job offer in Billings. Jobs are out there if you are willing to look and relocate, just gotta be willing to ask about wages and number of students.
