Cities in Economic Freefall

VERY ugly. Especially in Providence, RI: they experienced a population decline as the percentage of jobs added was much less than the increase in unemployment. Florida and California, needless to say, are really getting clobbered and the Phoenix metro area is #5.

I'm not surprised that Riverside is on this list. Go figure that I had to move there right when the economy dropped like a box of rocks.

And those are just the cities joining the decline rapidly. Anyone in the Midwest will tell you that they've been like this for years now and nobody seemed to want to help them at all.
