wow those are some pretty awesome numbers!! I'm pretty impressed with how low our unemployment rate is here seeing as it is much higher in other large cities

Your right, it seems that the worst Omaha ever experiences is a bix bag of really good and not so good...

These numbers in this thread are an indication of inward movement vs outward..

It would appear for the year 2007, we had a very good In-migration vs Out..
