1. Hawaii is near #1 for the lowest unemployment rate - there are a lot of jobs, and not a lot of people to fill them (hey, it's an island), but you have to keep the cost of living in mind. Food is nearly double what you'd pay on the mainland, and rent is high. But plenty of job opportunities, low crime, and lots of sun.
2. Haha-- avoid California. Democrats have made this state the worst state to do business in. Housing prices and cost-of-living expenses are out of control. Take a look at Austin, Atlanta...
3. I have always heard and read that Cincinatti, Ohio is at the top of the list of places to live and work. From time to time you will see that Cincy is rated #1
