I have not done ANY research on this so don't hold me to this one. I would ASSUME it would be Chicago. Reasons being is, the financial markets are under going the correction of a life time, which equates to a lot of lost revenue. I read in the NYT that for every 5 dollars earned on wall street a dollar of it goes back into the NYC local economcy. That is a LOT of money. When lay offs and everything start really kicking up thats going to hurt that city big time. Real Estate in NYC also went out of control and it is slowing starting to correct itself. That is also another blow to the NYC economy. Also since 9/11 a lot of sectors have left the city, specifically banking. Just look at Charlotte north carolina now as opposed to 7 or 8 yrs ago. A lot of banks have gone there. I also read that NYC has lost its relevance as a global financial center (yet another blow). I don't think Chicago has all these things going against it. Again, I could be wrong.
