It would be cool if they could also prepare a version that controls for average wage range of the postings. Very interesting.

Of particular note in the piece was the mentioning of a gentleman with a Master Degree in Engineering who at age 52, was devestated by having to resort to picking up free food since he has been unemployed for about two years. If there was ever an argument for reading Richard Florida's book, that is it! Perhaps there is a familial reason keeping this person in Detroit, but if not, he should get the heck out of there and relocate to a region that complements his skill set.
