Based on money. Having talked with Cryo for a handful of years now, I think we beat out Illinois hands down.

That's ok... to me this is just one more reason, in the long and ever expanding list of reason, why I should have NEVER left Massachusetts :disgust:

HOLY CRAP


Alabama isn't in the bottom 10!!!! :xtrmshock:xtrmshock

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Surprised NY isn't on the bottom. Still, heading towards Austin TX this fall sounds good.

10 years ago I had a choice between So. Cal. or Delaware. Visited both, and had equal offers from both companies. It's certainly true that my money would go further in Delaware than it has in southern California, but there's more to life than money, and overall I'm very happy with my choice...

So. Cal as we all know is beautiful! (I will be there this weekend)

Chicago does not count for Illinois. It skews the rest of the state. ;~)

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Yes Chicago is great for professionals! Abslutely fantastic!

I guess I am confused why Texas is up on the top of that list, budget cuts and layoffs are happening on a daily bases. Hell every single school district is laying off thousands of teachers, support staff across the board. Police, fireman and governmant jobs are being laid off as well. :rofl:

Maybe this survey was done more than a year ago or this is just that much better than anywhere else. All I know if all these people keep moving here we will surely be dropping down on that list.:erg:

Well.... ironically... I did live right next to a state forest when I last lived there :EG:
