Not sure where in the midwest you are, but I live in the Minneapolis MN area and there is a blossoming tech scene, and many new startups eager to hire ambitions developers that are willing to learn. I have heard similar things about Madison, and Chicago is a tech hub with many prominent startups.

I'm around the Detroit area. I've hit up a couple startup meetups, and things of that nature. The few places I've talked to really don't have the wiggle room to hire at the moment which seems like a bummer.
