Now to prove what I'm saying, is even in FL and Texas which both have solid economies. The wages are lower than what you'd find in IL for comparable jobs. IL the worst fucking blue state still has better jobs for the average person than FL and TX.
Texas gets the oil field exception as people in that field of work get higher pay on average but the rest of job in Texas are mostly under paid.
Now the point of all this, is Republicans still dont seem to understand what made America great. The middle class is what makes America great because millions of middle class people spend more money buying things which creates a strong economy vs having a rich bunch of 1%ers with no middle class..
This is why Republican run states are always fucked, because they do everything possible to keep wages low and kill off the middle class which means the young leave their states for the big city coasts in search of opportunity causing a future both brain drain and tax losses which compounds its self every generation.
