Question by someone,somewhere: What US cities have the lowest cost of living and a high employment rate? I currently live in Los Angeles county, which has a high cost of living. I’m thinking about moving out of state but can’t really decide where. Any information you would like to contribute about where you live, the cost of living, employment ratios, quality of living, etc would be greatly appreciated! I’m looking for a nice area where I can easily get a job. (I do office work – Administrative and Customer Service oriented. My husband does pest control.) Someplace where the cost of housing is affordable, where there aren’t a bunch of bums, poor people or gangs. A place that isn’t too conservative (we have a lot of tattoos and want to be accepted by our neighbors). Nice weather,maybe a little snow but not so much that you get snowed in all the time. I’d love to be near a lake or the ocean. I’ve pretty much eliminated Arizona, New Mexico,  ...
