Why are Women Coming to Austin?

Well its seems that a respected online community for women (WomenCo.com) has listed us #1 as the best place for getting the most "bang for your buck."

Now we don't take this lightly since WomenCo. sounds pretty dang official and after reading the list to see who Austin was compared to, we have to agree.

Their rankings were based on "cities' growth rates, average salaries and costs of living," and they even factored in average commute time, which, according to experts, has a colossal impact on your overall happiness. The survey also used unemployment figures, and the rate that unemployment has actually increased since February 2008."

Austin topped the list with projected job growth and had one of the lowest changes in unemployment rate since the onset of the recession.
 
The city has enjoyed a recent explosion of high-tech entrepreneurism, and its two largest employers — the state government and the University of Texas — are expected to add a couple thousand jobs this year.

We are veterans when it comes to #1 reasons for moving to Austin but I stop short at using the word "recession proof."

I do want to thank WomenCo for coming up with this most informative list and verifying what many of us already know. 

 Austin Rocks!

And why do men come to Austin ..... 'cause the women are here.
