John,

Very interesting.  But does not correlate with economic growth:

In any case statistics are fun.  Have I told you about the New York Metropolitan Art Museum?  They installed counting turnstiles to keep track of people entering the building.  Every year there was an increase in the number of people entering the building.  That led to a strong argument to ask the city for a budget increase.  One year there was a precipitous drop in the number of visitors.  In investigating the matter, it was discovered that at the start of that year, a small building with restrooms was built in the park outside the museum.

Have a wonderful New Year.  Looking forward to seeing you in Hartford.

    This directly impacts our efforts to hire or retain competent and productive employees and again highlights the continued, and worsening, lack of business sense in remaining headquartered in a failing economic environment.

    The mantra was once "move west"; in this century, hard data says it is "move south."
