This is another economic ranking, I know the one for '04 came out on SSC before, but I'm not sure the '05 one ever came out. I just thought about this one in light of the other relocation poll, that people wondered if it were indicative of the economy in an area or shows a trend.

Here you can view the methodology, I personally like that the poll seems to be pretty comprehensive. How much they weigh certain factors if up to you to wonder about I guess. They have a lot more metros listed and micros as well.> |
