Comments on: The Top 10 Best Cities For Jobs in 2007 http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/2007/02/21/the-top-10-best-cities-for-jobs-in-2007/ Real Estate Blog, Mortgage, and Development News Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:09:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: steve http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/2007/02/21/the-top-10-best-cities-for-jobs-in-2007/comment-page-1/#comment-39263 steve Fri, 06 Apr 2007 12:48:34 +0000 http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/2007/02/21/the-top-10-best-cities-for-jobs-in-2007/#comment-39263 I think that the quality of jobs matters infinitely more than job growth per se. Out here in Austin, Tex., we indeed are experiencing high job growth(ranked #20) but many low-paying ones, including start-ups that may hire just a handful of people. A very large number are in the service industry, including nightclubs and retaurants. A dishwasher making 6.50/hour is counted as a job with the same weight as a heart surgeon or corp. executive. Far more indicative of a decent economy is the per capita income ranking. High per capita AND job growth is the only stat that makes sense. Cities like Phoenix, Tucson, Austin, Tampa and Orlando have an extremely poor paying job base, very much skewed towards low-end service industry jobs. These cities also attract low-skilled gypsy relocatees, constantly on the prowl for survival, which creates a large amount of crime, and blights the landscape with nasty maga-apartment complexes that cater to the same poor, itinerent work force. Cities like Chicago, Boston, NY, DC, Mini-st.Paul, DC, and the like, with a long-rooted, well-paying, stable work force are infinitely more viable for who who is looking to relocate to a viable area.

SLC has experienced unprecendented appreciation in the housing market...although it is definitely cooled down compared to last summer. I think the average appreciation rate here in the valley has been somewhere between 15% and 25%. Pretty good. A lot of west coast money floating around here. Good post, thanks.
