"West Virginia ranks No. 2 in job growth, according to a study released by Arizona State University on Wednesday.
According to the study, non-agricultural jobs in West Virginia increased by 2.6 percent. The study compared figures of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from January 2011 to this January."
Morgantown is already paying dividends to the state.
Don't get me wrong, I love Morgantown, and my wife just got a job at a high tech company here, but doesn't most of this growth have to do with the macellus shale?
Makes sense, smaller states that don't overspend their money tend to be doing the best in job growth. I figured North Dakota would also be up there. They also had a similar article on the Pittsburgh forum about rapid job growth in the area.

I agree a lot of the larger states overspend especially california and new york. I think the states should be split in half for better efficiency, but that isn't going to happen. There is also not a big correlation between "fiscally responsible" conservative states and actual fiscal responsibility, it is all talk. Small states do tend to do way better on our "balance sheet", but I still suspect salary is way under the national average.
The Welfare Deadbeats are under pressure to 'get a job or go to a school so they can 'get a job.
Lot of pressure on them....
Times are 'a changing for them....
But realistically, a white tattooed guy, with a bushy black afro haircut with lip and eyebrow pericings???? Dressed in rags....and showing his buttcrack.
What would you hire him for....???? Night watchman ?
Is this a sterio-type....If this is a profile of humanity, is it of this planet?
In the next 5 years, the Northern Panhandle is poised for mega growth. You can already see it starting in Wheeling. Nearby "downstream" developments from the PA cracker, as well as the several fractionating factories there, along with spin offs will have a major impact. Also, developments in Eastern Ohio will result in many folks who work there living in the Northern Panhandle.
I think the northern and eastern parts of the state will prosper at a level not seen for 3 decades or more. We won't see as much manufacturing in NCWV from it, but what we are seeing is companies that supply goods and services to the gas/oil companies operating in nearby Wetzel County and engineering firms spring up. Other growth factors continue unabated here and the Eastern Panhandle's real estate market is starting to rebound, a sign that more population pressure from DC and Baltimore is underway.
