After a year filled with layoffs, more layoffs and finally laying off that guy that everyone thought was totally going to be the first one to get canned but somehow making it until the third round, the GM plant in Wentzville, MO rolled out the 2 Millionth “full sized van” yesterday marking another time in history that no one will care about ever.

One of the many job posting websites, Indeed.com, has compiled and posted a list of the top 50 cities based on the ratio of jobs to unemployed people.

We came in at #40.

Detroit was #50.  …which makes another win for the Lou against D-Town!

According to the site, St. Louis is rocking a ratio of one job opening to every six unemployed people.  For comparison sake, the #1 city was Washington D.C. with the exact opposite ratio of six job postings for every one unemployed little orange guy.  Detroit came in dead last with only one job posting for a whopping 18 unemployed people!
