You don't need the U.S. Misery Index to tell you that things are bad in the U.S. Unemployment is near or at all-time highs in many parts of the country, foreclosures continue to happen at unprecedented rates and there are some very real indicators that we are heading toward a double-dip recession.
Some of us should count our lucky stars, however. In certain U.S. cities, life is much worse for residents than in other areas of the country. Using a variety of criteria, including unemployment rates, health data, the number of foreclosures, crime statistics, climate and other measures of misery, WalletPop came up with its unofficial list of the 10 worst cities to live in. This list is far from comprehensive, but there are some significant reasons why these cities made the cut. Read on.

Be still my beating heart we’ve come up a notch in the world!
Right. Weren’t we #2 in the last one? I guess we owe Fred for those 8 spots since this one weighted unemployment more.
That’s kind of funny, because Tulsa is rather square, with streets marking off square-mile sections, although not iconically square like Oklahoma City. I rarely got on the interstate when we lived in Tulsa, because you could get where you were going on surface roads, three east-four north and so on.
Obama has an agenda for the states states that did not vote for him...hurt them! He's a vindictive little jerk!
Thanks for the information. For what it is worth, the one reference I found on the net was indeed to a church event in Indiana.
The PDF is at APRIL 2010 NEWS & NOTES FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH; the term is used on page 4 with the entry for April 1st.
See, it’s Indiana. I’m from Missouri originally, and I was using the local term!
I agree with your list more than the BS one in the article.
Blew it right there. No credibility.
Positive feedback loop?
Amen brother. But if it can keep the dang California libs from moving in and screwing our town up then the rating is worth it. I don’t care what some organization calls me, just so long as it leaves me alone.
