Ursus Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 http://www.umass.edu/peri/resources/wei/staterankings.htm Most of the best states are in New England. Most of the worst, in the deep South. Heh. My own state of PA is second tier, though I work for Maryland. I suppose I should contemplate moving to New England.

Sextus Roscius Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 My state (North Carolina) is all the way tied with Florida, of all places to be tied with, its Florida! OH WELL... I still am fine living in the upper-middle class range and I plan on going to college in england to avoid the impending doom the united states faces...oh well. anyways, ouch, 51 has gotta hurt.

Virgil61 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 ...Most of the worst, in the deep South. Heh... Don't be to hard on the South though. NC didn't fare very well overall, but the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill (RTP) area is on the Forbes ten best places for business, always seems to make all the "most liveable cities" lists and the most "phds per capita" lists. I'm not a big fan of New England but I've got to admit Boston is an incredible city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Michigan is listed in the middle of the pack, but with the way the auto industry is going, the state is in serious trouble. Jobs are being outsourced overseas on a massive scale and I believe we currently have the highest unemployment in the country... so I'm surprised to see it listed in the middle.
