I am going to look more into this. It seems every year it is reported that Des Moines is one of the greatest places to live. But whether it be DSM or some other metro area, I do not agree in how the data is presented and who is responsible for gathering and presenting the data. The truth is, a majority of the people do not make the income listed, and if this is gross income, it is subject to tax. Maybe they are using the notation of ‘young professional’ as it means people of child bearing years that get better tax breaks and large credits at tax time. Kind of reminds me of working for a shitty employer. You will be getting a survey, our goal is to be listed in City View magazines top employers.. If we get a good rating and everhone participate in the survey, we will have a pizza party.

I will need to get out the calculator and do some serious math . You have no idea how much I love doing this type of detective work and math. At times, makes me a bit of an annoying person, but someone needs to do it and needs to be said. At least be said from the perspective of a self supporing female subject to the single tax. The link below is about one year old, I will hold off a few weeks and see if a new rating and data come out before getting out the calculator.
