dontlooknow Posted September 17 On 9/5/2019 at 12:17 PM, impartialobserver said: Nevada 3.5% Utah 3.4% Idaho 3.3% Arizona 2.9% Texas 2.8% Georgia 2.7% Wyoming 2.6% North Carolina 2.5% South Carolina 2.5% Florida 2.4% Tennessee 2.4% Colorado 2.2% This is the average of first quarter of 2018 compared to first quarter of 2019 as per the Quarterly Census of Employment and wages (BLS). Any thoughts on this? As for the first 3, it is a simple matter of states that have been very sparsely populated and empty growing and so percentage change numbers are a bit skewed.
