no surprise that New Orleans is top of the worst list. It'll be decades before they've recovered. If they ever do.

New Orleans would have been near the bottom before Katrina anyway. The place is like a third world country now.

But two cities and a large town, all in states which are known for MMN (miles-and-miles-of-nothing) is very surprising.

Miami on the top 10? HA! Maybe if you are latino or speak Spanish..not too good for a Polish man who speaks Russian, German and Polish..and fluent English (unlike the majority of people here). He has been job hunting for almost a year ..with no luck!

This does, of course, only include places of a certain size. I'd love to know where Portland, Maine came in - but we're not big enough to count. A couple of cities in Massachussetts, but other than that the rest of New England can go hang. It's like nobody lives up here or something.
