Where are all the jobs in USA?
We get a lot of business from California, Florida and Texas. Since, we use an internal CRM system, I can pin-point and tell the exact percentage of our business from these three states. But I could never answer, why most of the business that we get is from these states only.
So, while I was doing some research I stumbled upon “Job Postings per 1000 People” data posted at Indeed.com. I quickly fired up my excel program and did some maths the results surprised me. Here it is:

| CA | 18.43% |
| FL | 7.42% |
| TX | 7.06% |
| OH | 4.62% |

As it seems nearly one-third of all the jobs in US are from these three states only. For me it has been a wonderful finding altogether. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing a terrific job there in California!
