[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our friends in Madison, WI are senior mgmt their Trek HQ and they have a fantastic life. same base salaries (gotta pay up for educated people anywhere), waterski house in summer, ski/snowmobile in winter, decent airport, big new house for $500k, good schools, tons of fun at UW-madison games, etc. 
all the east coasters at their wedding had the best week ever. and yes, a ton said "wow, I never would have come here unless invited."  did some golfing at Kohler too.

Trek, Kohler, Harley, Northwestern mutual, Allstate, universitits, medical companies, GE Medical.

Making $300k there and banking most of it makes a lot of sense. [/quote]

So the OP's question should be rephrased - why don't all the unemployed folks in Wisconsin move to greater Madison?   (because I think the question about mobility was more on point, and important, than the generalization about flyover country)

The problem of the large numbers of underemployed, discontented folks is a national problem - whether a highly qualified professional is better off in Madison, or in Annandale, not so much.  [/quote]

Why should I get a job when i get food stamps, welfare checks, public housing, free bus/metro cards, and Gov’t paid smartphone, etc.? Plus I get the same for each of my kids, Mo kids=Mo money, yo.
And if I do get a job, I make sure it doesn’t pay much, or on the books, since I don’t want to lose my benies and freebies.  You working suckers![/quote]
