Negotiating pay when I have been out of work, operations analyst here

I have been out of work for 9 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. Thank you in advance. I do not want to price myself out. How do you research fairly?

Check several sources for pay in Salt Lake City, then pick a range where the low end is one you can live with.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
