The Top 10 Places to Live in the US That Are Recession Proof

I came across an interesting article in Forbes Magazine that identified the top 10 places in America that are not being dramatically impacted by our slowing (are we in a recession yet) economy. According to the article they are:

1. Oklahoma City, OK

2. San Antonio TX

3. Austin, TX

4. Houston, TX

5. Charlotte, NC

6. Dallas, TX

7. San Jose, CA

8. Raleigh, NC

9. Salt Lake City, UT

10. Seattle, WA

For those of you, who are interested in seeing photos and garnering some interesting stats about these cities, click here.

A quick perusal of the list shows, that most of these cities are either south of the Mason Dixon Line or West of the Continental Divide. Unfortunately, none of the cities are hotbeds of biotechnology or life sciences research (with the possible exception of Seattle). It seems that if you live in Texas, you may be living large. But, then again, isn’t everything BIGGER in Texas?

Until next time….

Good Luck and Good Job Hunting (try Austin, it rocks)!!!!!!!!!

Ummm . . .the Research Triangle Park adjacent to Raleigh is not a hotbed of lifescience research?? We may not be NJ, but GSK doesn't have headquarters here for nothing.
