no more Chipotle pork. Now we’ve
learned we’re not actually one of the top spots for job seekers in the U.S.

But it still is a great place to look for a job, if that is all you expect from your search, just looking and looking and looking.
Figures that a rag named "NERDWALLET" wouldn't have the cognitive capacity to pull off a simple research article using statistics. What a bunch of fools.
Willy Loman -- But isn't it funny that the Observer jumped all over this? To prove that we really are a 'world class', 'up and coming city' full of energy and vibrancy.
Meanwhile, our dirty underbelly shows an excessive tax rate, poor infrastructure and a politically correct County Commisioners and Board of Education, that chooses to spend more of your hard earned money on special interests, instead of providing basic services that ALL people of Mecklenburg County can access if they need it.
That way folks gets to save more of their money for what they need it for! Not to subsidize someone else's entertainment dollar, or to help increase downtown visitation, or to encourage developers to build upon a light-rail line or trolley.
I just wish they'd publish follow-up articles and the status of where we're at as it relates to the IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Executive Orders, etc, etc
But instead we have our local Pravda touting everything's wonderful! Look how great our Progressive Society has become!
