The majority of articles on this site seem to be heavily slanted in one direction. I suggest everyone take a look into http://www.bailoutmainstreetnow.com Breaking Alternative Online Newspaper. Not only does it contain news articles but users can submit their own news videos to share with the community.

Is the National Enquirer? There is surely not enough difference between projections for the greatest and least growth to justify "soar" and "stagnate." I bypass online publications whose stories can't back up the headline links.

Yeah, I highly doubt the assertions of this article.

The delta between the lowest and highest is so small, it's not really important statistically. 6% is not 'soaring' and 4% is certainly not 'stagnating' since this article doesn't seem to account for the multitude of other variables that affect income and cost of living in different parts of the country.

Where did that come from? It's the Lone Star State.

I'm reading this thinking this looks a lot like an article from pre 2006. However it's been updated to add a few facts from the present. Fluff propaganda hoping people will buy this dribble and keep USN in business.

Many of the more rural or suburban communities in Idaho have fared much better than the more populated centers. We didn't experience the extreme highs that some states experienced, but on the flip side, we don't hit the lowest of lows either. While many businesses, real estate included felt the crunch and slow down, and you hear of those who went under; those who kept their heads above water should be applauded and often can attribute it to the conservative approach seen here. As Jason pointed out Idaho has much to offer and is a great place to live.

Burley, Idaho is a great place to centralize your company's western US distribution needs! Find out what DotFoods, McCains, and more figured out... Burley is a great place for your business!

Boise, Idaho is one of the coolest places to live, much more moderate weather than surrounding areas, a beautiful downtown. Man I love Boise.

If you want to remember what blue skies look like again, and love the outdoors, come to Idaho!
