Jax listed at 21 on list of 'Worst Cities to be Young'. Orlando 1st.

The bad news is that Jax made the list. The good news is that some pretty cool cities also made the list. 

This seems to be heavily weighted by unemployment.

Uh.... I consider us in pretty good company if that list is any indicator. I only went through five or six before I closed the tab, but Denver, San Fran, and Tampa are all pretty cool towns to be young...

If Denver, Tampa, and Charlotte are "bad" cities to be young in, I wonder who has it "good". I agree, we're in good company.

Probably cities nobody could afford to live in/ especially the young.

Thanks for the post, Vicupstate. Its wild that the decision is based solely on statistical info. They left out affordability, sunshine, access to ocean. Jax is as hip as any city there is. We, right here, are defining this city. And it IS a metropolitan area that is growing!
