Westport — well, “Fairfield County, Conn.” (okay, actually the Bridgeport-Fairfield-Norwalk corridor) — is #12 on Forbes’ list of “America’s Best Cities for Young Professionals.”
Forbes cited these statistics:
Population: 939,904
Median Salary: $63,600
Unemployment rate: 6.2%
Population with bachelor’s degree: 44.6%
Cost of living index: 136.9
Avg. Yearly Job Growth (2014-2016): 2.0%
Companies with 500+ employees: 1 for every 910 people
Companies with <500 employees: 1 for every 42.36 people
All well and good. Except for the photo that illustrates “Fairfield County”:
That is not Norwalk. It’s not Stamford. And it’s definitely not Bridgeport.
It’s Little Rock, Arkansas.
PS: The odds you’ll get the top 3 are infinitesimal. They are, in order:
- Des Moines
- Raleigh
- Omaha
