You also not accounting for cost of living. 28,000 may not be alot but it will go alot further in bumblefukk North Carolina than it would in New York.

 

[VICVALLIN]

yeah those numbers look depressing but whats the cost of living in those areas? i assure you someone making 35-40k in the south is living a comparable or possibly even better life than someone living in the major metro areas of the northeast 20k more.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

Gallup is just a small town that people stop by to put gas and get something to eat before you hit the Arizona boarder. Cost of living is hella low there and in the whole state of NM.

There's nothing but gas stations,restaurants and hotels. Not exactly high earning jobs.

i wonder why

9 of the 10 poorest states last election voted for republicans. They vote against their own benefits every time.

thats because they have been brainwashed by the evangelicals to use the bible to create political policy. they rather vote republican to make abortion illegal and stop those gays from marrying.

Like California for ex.

California is already significantly developed. This article is talking about towns that resemble the late 1800s. Not analogous.
