Democrats SUCK!!

[Palehorse]

Guess ya'll would rather make $100 pr hour just to say you make $100 pr hour even though the COL actually gives you less spendable cash on hand.  Ya'll have a bad habit of over thinking and doing fuzzy math and are confusing yourselves.  You're also missing the fact that if there were no businesses there would be no jobs.

Whoosh!

[Exterminator]

Wow!

Whoosh!

Figured that would go over your head.  You really don't get it do you?

Your issue is that you cannot discern fact from fiction, truth from lies; and have no idea how to do so. ~ Palehorse 10/12/2012 - - -v

I realize you're not as youth challenged as I happen to be but I really thought you were more observant than that.  Quit listening to the smoke and mirror talk and open your eyes.

From 2005. Got anything more recent?

You are right Indiana was 21st best state to live in in 2005, now they are 20th.....getting better.

You two ought to be disc jockeys you spin so much. 

[Henry Hawk]

Personal income is expected to improve for the rest of the forecast period and employment growth has already rebounded.

No spin to it PH.  Out of 50 states to live in, we are 20th.  Not great, but not bad.  Better than well over half of the rest of the states in this country.

From your source ....

Summary

So far in 2014, personal income growth has lagged while payroll employment growth has matched the U.S. rate.

Thank goodness for burger flippers.

[Palehorse]

Personal income is expected to improve for the rest of the forecast period and employment growth has already rebounded.

Hard not to improve when there are 2.2 million residents who are officially "low income," meaning they earn less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. That is $22,980 for an individual or $47,100 for a family of four.

No spin to it PH.  Out of 50 states to live in, we are 20th.  Not great, but not bad.  Better than well over half of the rest of the states in this country.

You can make this state rank number one by cherry picking the criteria. 

More than 70 percent of new jobs in Indiana paid full-time wages insufficient to pull the worker out of the low-income category.

Indiana's average worker pay ranks 42nd in the nation.

Pray you don't lose your present position, for doing so will mean enduring a 40-50%+ drop in income, or having to move out of state to find a job that pays at a rate comparable to the job you hold now.

FACTS!

I am NOT Cherry picking anything:

Here are all 50 U.S. states as ranked by their working conditions in the 2014 MoneyRates.com analysis:
These rankings are based on each state's Compensation and Quality Factor, a proprietary metric based on these factors in each area:

   
• Average salary, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
• Cost of living, based on data from C2ER.
• Employment rate, based on BLS data.
• Workplace conditions, based on the "Work Environment" component of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.

You're beginning to sound like a fan of the Obama economic recovery!

Maybe I should have said, despite his economic recovery, the hoosier GOP leadership has managed to improve it status during these turbulent times...

[Henry Hawk]

Under Obama, only the richest 10 percent saw incomes rise
