Forbes has issued its list of the best cities for earning a living. Houston topped the list based on its business environment, low unemployment, and high wages. Oil industry profits were cited as one of the primary drivers of the Houston economy. Minneapolis (large well know companies), Boston (biotech industry), and Washington D.C. (government related jobs) also made this list. To compile the list Forbes drew from it’s own list of 400 of the best large companies and 200 of the top small companies. They also considered median incomes, cost of living, and job-growth forecasts. Here is the list of the top ten:
1.) Houston
2.) Minneapolis
3.) Boston
4.) Washington D.C.
5.) New York City
6.) Pittsburgh

8.) Dallas

Forbes has released the results of a study to determine America’s top “hard-drinking” cities. A distinction most cities would not want. Austin, Texas topped the list with 61.5% of adults having at least one drink in the past 30 days, and 20.6% of have had five or more drinks on one occasion. Not sure why they included people having one drink in 30 days. Even five or more in a 30 day period seems kind of moderate to me assuming they are not all chugged on the same night. Maybe it was that that half of Austin enjoyed a beer or glass of wine in the past month? Or maybe that a fifth of Austinians (is that what they are called?) has gotten drunk at one time or another. The Forbes reporters working on this one, did a little too much primary research. Anyway, here are the results…
1.) Austin
2.) Milwaukee
3.) San Francisco
4.) Providence
5.) Chicago
6.) Seattle
7.) Cleveland
8.) St. Louis
9.) Boston
10.) Cincinnati
