I love maps :)

So here's one I found interesting... It is a lot easier on the yes, in my opinion, if you remove the county borders.

For ex: Montgomery County, OH's unemployement rate is higher than Los Angeles's...

  1. Emily always finds a way to prove Dayton, Ohio is the worst place on earth...haha! This is an interesting map, it looks like Nebraska is the optimal place to find a job.

  2. Well, John, I will say it has a lower foreclosure rate. But I have to say, everyone I know who's still in Dayton is either teaching in the Centerville City Schools (which I think testifies to a certain issue I won't go into now) or has a plan to escape ASAP. When I met up with Kim Lungard she told me how much happier she was once she moved to Columbus. I think Dayton is an interesting place. It has certainly been the home of much creativity that I appreciate, but it seems to be dying...

  3. Agreed, Dad better comment to this he was saying Dayton may die with NCR leaving...

  4. Great map Emily, Do you have a world Atlas? They have great maps in those...Ohio and California both have suffocating tax rates, that is why Austin,TX appears more advantageous...Both Ohio and CA lack opportunities, the less growth the harder it is to be successful. Nebraska here we come!!
