Median Yearly Wages

Median Yearly Wages

Lately I've been quite interested in difference in cost of living and wages in different places, in part for expanding my knowledge for future possibilities of places to live. This shows the median wage in each state, calculated by the Occupation Employment Survey by state. Certainly not the only way to calculate such things.

Unemployment has declined Upstate over the 12 years mainly due to population declines, retirements and those giving up the search for work.

A first draft of what my dream home would look like

Simple, small and cozy, different from the large suburban homes of today. By no means a tiny home which is defined as under 500 square feet but probably in the ratio of what would be considered a small house - 900 or so square feet which is roughly 30 feet by feet. I'm teaching myself CAD to see if I can design something a bit better looking before actively seeking out architectural and design services and reading up to learn about all things on building your own house.
