Job growth next five years: 14%
Number of new jobs: 75,000

What they never mention n these things are the number of old jobs that will go away.
Anyone care to guess what the NET gain/loss in 5 years will be?

Yeah that is sure to attract more people. Atlanta population: 5.4 million? No thanks. Some of the smaller cities look pretty good tho.

Would it be better if it was #4 in job loss?

According to

American Cities That Gained (And Lost) The Most Jobs - Careers Articles

that would be

4. Tacoma, Wash.
Employment decrease: 2.28%
Jobs lost: 2,080
Workforce: 98,486
Unemployment rate: 9.7%

Nice places to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. I'll stay here where hopefully my property value will increase. Thank you very much!

I love it here and I'm so glad I relocated,despite all the naysayers!

Everyone native to Raleigh originated somewhere else if you follow the family tree far enough back.

I just don't get the disdain for people who want to move to this area. I guess some people are so ego-centric they think they have more of a right to enjoy this area because they grew up here. Pretty sad IMO.

Would you rather be tops in job losses? Just another reason to complain I guess.
