Citizen B's Favorite News: Let's move to Middle America!

Pack up your belongings and look for a job in McAllen, TX.

Living in a farming community or a big city may be a struggle right now, but mid-size cities in the United States are actually prospering in the midst of an economic crisis. With their local banks having few toxic loans and an economy not based on manufacturing or real estate, these 400,000 people cities have dodged the worst of the recession.

While logically speaking you will find more job postings in New York City than in Huntsville, Alabama, you're more likely to keep a job in Huntsville than New York City. If banks are able to continue giving new loans in these areas, setting up a small business in a mid-size city is easier than a large one, or a very small one. In addition the cost of living is far less in Omaha, Nebraska than it is in someplace like Chicago, meaning you are less likely to go broke paying rent.
