Austin Texas is once again the best places to live

[Aaron Gordy]

According the US News and World Report, Austin Texas is once again, tops, for the third year in a row.  Their criteria is Desirability, Value, Job Market, Quality of Life and Net Migration. Of course Net Migration is dependent upon the other four factors.  2.9% unemployment is awesome! https://realestate.usnews.com/places/texas/austin.

I love living here, but that 2.9% unemployment is super annoying to me. I can't find even basic laborers who will work for less than $20 an hour, let alone anyone who doesn't need direct supervision. I'm finding that I actually have to work again, because I can't justify paying a plumber $250 to do a 10-minute valve replacement, or a quality make-ready for less than $500. First world problems, I know, but still.
