More income without the extra job

Mostly going to the region, industry (or part thereof) or skill set where the demand is high, supply low:

During his third year as a high-school teacher, 36-year-old Jonathan Ring earned $44,000 -- respectable, but in San Francisco barely enough to keep his studio apartment stocked with Top Ramen. Scott Shepherd, 34, teaches high-school students in Atlanta. In his third year, Shepherd will make nearly $80,000. Why the difference? Ring toils at an inner-city public school, while Shepherd tutors rich kids full-time from suburbia for $75 an hour.
