Orlando has a lot to offer outside the tourist attractions. Sporting events (Orlando Magic), Concerts, theater, shops, restaurants, night life, great surrounding family oriented suburban communities, (average city things) close proximity to great beaches, NASA, UCF which is the 4th largest university in the USA and its only about 40 years old and a very high ranking school, an up and comming huge medical city that will creat thousands of high paying prfessional jobs, a ton of recreational opportunities like nature trails, lakes, springs, parks, sports complexes, etc.
UCF which is the 4th largest university in the USA
Is that ranking for the 2009 - 2010 year? I ask because I haven't seen this year's rankings. The latest I've seen (08-09) has the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities ranked at no. 4 with 51,141 while UCF was 5th with 50,275. Whatever the case, having a large student body population is a huge advantage for metropolitan areas like Orlando.

Oh I thought it was 4th, but it looks like its 3rd now, according to this and wikipedia
Wikipedia has UCF listed as the 5th and the article you posted doesn't mention The Ohio State, Arizona State, or the University of Minnesota. So there aren't any official numbers available that actually back your claim.
I'm actually surprised to see Omaha ahead so far. I thought Florida's warmer weather would put it way out front. I had some friends that were from Orlando and moved up here for their jobs and they were fans of Omaha over Orlando.
