- The latest issue of Fortune Magazine has an interesting graphic in
- it, on page 86. It has to do with cutbacks in government programs,
- and how many jobs are expected to be lost in the top 10 states with
- Pentagon programs. Might be a good indicator of where real estate
- and unemployment will be disasters in 4-6 years. Briefly:
-
- State: Jobs lost so far: Expected by '97:
-
- New Jersey 13,000 44,000
- Pennsylvania 15,000 55,000
- Florida 18,000 56,000
- Ohio 19,000 62,000
- Connecticut 20,000 54,000
- Virginia 23,000 76,000
- Massachusetts 26,000 70,000
- New York 30,000 90,000
- Texas 32,000 98,000
- California 75,000 245,000

- Looks like RE in Ca, Tx, and NY will be *real* cheap in 3-5 years.
- However, of all ten, there's maybe two states I'd consider living
- in (or even owning rental property); Ohio and Virginia. NY, NJ, and
- Pa form one armpit of the US, along with Taxachusetts; Florida is
- full of retirees that vote in high taxes to support their retirement;
- Ca has some of the retiree problem along with having what appears
- to be most of the former Soviet Unions' policymakers, and Texas is
- nearly as bad.

- I'm glad this area has been diversifying away from the space program
- somewhat....
