Salary.com deems Plano, TX best place in U.S. to “build personal wealth”

Plano tops yet another list, this time Salary.com's list of the best places in the U.S. to "build personal wealth." The career advancement website details its criteria for together the list:

The compensation experts at Salary.com uncovered the top (and bottom) US cities for building personal net worth, taking into account local salaries, cost of living, and unemployment relative to the national average. This year's list also factored in qualitative measures including diversity of industry, education level of the cities' population, proximity to post secondary institutions, percent of population below poverty level, and median travel time to work...

Following Plano were Aurora, CO, Omaha, NE, Mineapolis, MN, and Albuquerque, NM. Some of the most sought after places to live in the country turned out to be the worst for building personal wealth, with NYC at the bottom, just worse than Washington, D.C., L.A., Honolulu, and San Francisco.
