#2 Well yes it's assumed that cemeteries, regardless of size, will have very few job opportunities for the living. For the dead - there's always election season.

#3 It seems like “workers” is probably stretched a bit in several of the bottom states. Track marks are generally not a sign of someone who is worried about locating a W2 at the end of January.

#4 Note: "work." You do actually have to work. If you don't want to work, then I suppose it really doesn't matter where you are.

#5 Let’s just say that in California, for instance, you won’t have trouble finding day workers to dry-wall your house. Also, if you are looking to hire someone to lie on a bench in a catatonic state - no problem, plenty of candidates. That’s heavy competition, if you are looking for that type of work.
There are considerably fewer candidates that want to be or are qualified to be policemen. When looking at the cost of living in California, also figure in actual price versus the price tag. Many goods are priced high there, but are functionally free in practice.

#6 Well, when the pipeline project folded, most of the high rent workers had to leave. This is also why they're having so many bank failures in the area.
