Well, in spite of all the naysayers and negative bloggers, our own Kansas City, Missouri hit yet another big, national list of good things about us.
We are, in fact, listed as one of the best cities in the nation for new graduates by CNBC. It's also being blared out on Yahoo! right now, too.
Their stats on us:
Unemployment rate: 7.6%
Cost of living index: 97.8
Mean annual income: $45,050
Top industries: business, agriculture
Followed by this little blurb about us:
"K.C. is well known for its contributions in the categories of barbecue, jazz, and blues, but it continues to evolve. 'Healthy living and an eco-friendly lifestyle are just one part of the booming downtown of Kansas City,' says Christina Aragon, director of strategy and customer insights at Rent.com.
So there you go. Yet one more feather in our cap, so to speak.
Fact is, there are a lot worse places to live in the world and country, folks, by a long shot.
Enjoy.
