Unemployed folks on either coast should be paying attention to this but feel a vast majority will sit and continue to wait for jobs that aren't coming back because of that idiotic "coastal/big city bias".
I attach absolutely no relevance to these lists. I'm from the Midwest and I would not move back. Winters are brutal. Pace is far too slow and segregation prevails. These Midwestern cities look dreary, cloudy, and downtrodden to the cold months of each year. No to the Midwest.
IMO, the best place to move to is the place where you can make a living and make your fortune. It doesn't have to be a place that is popular, cheap, or centrally-located. It doesn't have to be on the coast or near water. It merely needs to be a place where you can thrive in your career, provide for your family, and build your fortune.
The San Francisco bay area is considered too expensive for many, but it has worked for me. Milwaukee, Chicago, DC, Philly, NY all failed.
There aren't many employment opportunities in these Midwestern "large towns" either. Sure, there are some, but most tend to be lower paying jobs. The big money still is on the coasts and in Chicago.

Have you ever been to Minnesota (or any western Midwest state)? It's nothing like the "Rust Belt."
Surprise, Surprise Charlotte, NC did not make the cut.......Just a few years ago...everyone was flocking to good ole' Charlotte, NC.......Land of opportunity and good and plenty......No more, I see, No more......Personally always thought the city was overrated anyway..
Wayyyyyyyy down.....You wouldnt believe the amount of people that moved there during the boom years...and now they are stuck because they can't sell their home.
Im not surprised Pittsburgh is number one. The natural gas business is booming.

Best is too subjective for such lists
Milwaukee, Chicago, DC, Philly, NY all failed.
