Note how half of the worst places for employment are located in California, and California is not listed at all in the best places for employment

I have a good friend who's a Texas Aggie--he'll be happy to hear about College Station topping the list.

In a few weeks I'll be launching a new internet business that will have the distinct advantage that I can live anywhere and run it--as long as I can get to the web. Once it's making money we're planning to move to Central/Northern California, or maybe Oregon, (last night my wife found 150 acres of horse property for sale, but she doesn't recall exactly where it is!) so we'll help the unemployment figures there just a bit.

I hate unemployment statistics. I'd really like to see them presented in conjunction with underemployed (this, of course, is much harder to define). Some of these "best" places probably aren't that great; of course the bad ones aren't going to be much better.

Interesting statistics when you consider nearly every town in the 'Best' catagory has a major university in it. And on the flip end, all of the 'worst' places can pretty much be split between tech towns and farming communities.
