I doin't think Bryan's article is incorrect. I've been noticing an upswing in High Tech in Massachusetts. Dice is the biggest Job Site for I.T.

I have been getting a lot more recruiters contacting me about opportunities in MA...a lot of guys I work with have also been getting a lot more calls/e-mails from recruiters.

I will say that IT has seemed to have gone more the temp to perm route. A lot of companies want to Vet their new hires that way as there are a lot of people claiming to have the skill sets needed but not being able to perform when hired.

The last 3 places I contracted with have all wanted to hire me on permanently, once they found out I was capable of doing the job.

point in time, look at the trend over the past 10 years. just because 3000 jobs were added, how many were lost over the years.

I know its a point in time...but at least its going up. Hopefully it will continue to trend that way.

Bottom line for me...Quality of life for me means Living in New England.

I've Lived in CA, and I've lived in SC....but I like New England the best.

I have been contemplating a move to NH or ME though...that may be happening

I had traveled to most of the major newspapers in the design and development of the ad composition systems and interfaces. Two of those were the Dallas Morning News and the Houston Herald. This goes back to the many years ago and even then the job growth was phenomenal for the reasons you sited.
The overall health of people in TX appear to be healthy for most are lean and not overweight and the women are attractive.

Nobody is ignoring it.
My original point was, in large part, the Texas development is fueled by Energy payments to states, (which allows states to make incentives available to buisnesses) OR were around DC, based largely on Gov't contract work.....

incorrect Bry. look at the info.

Look, I am out of this discussion, I leave you the following. Do you what you want. My point in this forum is that the areas of growth in country are republican controlled. The areas of decline are democrat controlled. Please review the following.

I've only been to Dallas once....and I was amazed at how clean of a city it was.

Every metroplitan area has its Cultural centers....and every metropolitan area of the country has a different culture....I personally like to take in every area I go to and check out the food, nightlife, and people

Seriously, beautiful ballpark there, great BBQ (I know, it doesn't come with Mango chutney and drizzled in Truffle oil), the people I met when I was there were friendly.

My only knock with that area is the weather....to friggin hot for my liking, I like 4 seasons.

in massachuetts we wanted to send our kids to learn to speak chinese, closest place was an hour drive away.
Now, we have a place in our town that teaches it, 5 mins away.
I posted the cities culture and activites - the metroplex is huge and surrounded by towns with great centers, restaurtants, shopping, boutiques. Its amazing here.

Your local take out joint doesn't qualify as a cultural center.

Job growth is a pretty complex thing and as we've discussed in the past, so many of the areas in the original link are growing because of government spending, energy spending and established businesses who are doing well.

Low taxes and regulation alone aren't an incentive to invest. Companies are taking advantage of where the MONEY IS FLOWING FROM and hiring there.

So how many of those can you walk to? You wanted to argue about Manhattan.

How many?

And I'm still waiting for your source of stats from earlier.
