Austin Tops Another List
I found a posting on Facebook today that shared a link to a story about the best metro areas in the country for jobs in 2010 - Texas had 4 of the top five. Said about Austin: "Due to its well-prepared grads of top research institutions and its entrepreneurial spirit as evidenced by the high rate of self-employed workers, Austin has been cooking up a hot economy in recent years. It has been recruiting a lot of technology companies, due to low business costs in the area. Plus, Austin is positioning itself well in the clean tech industry, giving it an excellent outlook for the foreseeable future."
The report did not make any of these cities look terribly exciting because none is extremely healthy, but they are far better off than many other areas of the country. Austin still seemed to have a lot of people moving here. Some are coming for jobs and some just because they can work from anywhere. Some are coming with hopes of finding work.
