I'm in the Midwest US and I've used RentACoder (now vWorker) but you have to be careful. The key is to cherry pick specialty work that you can do quickly and still charge a reasonable fee for. In my case, I do almost exclusively hardware designs that I can knock out in a few minutes. Simple stuff, but I rarely get more than $250 or so. There is more involved work available, but I refuse to work for $10/hour!

I've bid on only three projects in the past year and been outbid on 2, 1 is pending.
