<p>Where are my New Jersey posters at? </p>

<p>Once again we're making more cash than you.</p>

<p>See</a> which states have the highest and lowest incomes - Sep. 21, 2009</p>

<p>O I saw that today haha:) I’m surprised California isn’t up there though.</p>

3

<p>LOL</p>

<p>You can’t be serious. California is bankrupt. Plus Cali isn’t very urban.</p>

<p>Well I thought that was based off of people’s salary. I know that we are bankrupt, believe me, I see it as I am stuffed in a room with 40 other students, however, I know that our salaries are high. I know not all of California is expensive, but where I live you can expect to spend over 1 million dollars for a house here. You would think that would require a high pay check haha. (sigh) I’m never going to be able to afford to live here after college:(</p>

<p>Yeah but most of California is rural and the inner cities are poor. </p>

<p>The state is bankrupt because the people are too poor to pay their taxes.</p>

<p>

regular English?</p>

<p>Congratulations, but MARYLAND DON’T GOT **** ON NEW JERSEY.</p>

<p>^^Due to the California budget cuts on education, my school is forced to compensate for the lack of money but formulating larger class sizes to enable the school to save money by hiring less teachers. This is portrayed within my classes, which typically have around 30 to 40 students:)</p>

<p>The most suburban states, and least urban states are always at the top. It’s not really a surprise. PA does pretty well for having Pennsyltucky between Pittsburgh and Philly.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You have no idea what you are talking about.</p>

11

<p>You do realize that the difference between Maryland and New Jersey in median salary is only a mere $167 - not a big deal. That’s pretty impressive for NJ - considering there are several urban areas.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>quoted for truth</p>

<p>Also, that article seems statistically incorrect. You can’t compare median incomes between states. Maryland has a small population, and no doubt many of its residents are wealthy middle class, so of course their median income is so high. The cost of living there is much higher there too, which the author of the article thoughtfully posted, which basically makes his point irrelevant.</p>

<p>Except that food costs too much…</p>

15

<p>Once again, Maryland proves that it is the best state in the Union. We are the best. We have the best schools in the country. And some of the best high school athletics in the country.</p>

<p>Dont worry, New Jersey, I still love you. I don’t know why people always make fun of you. MD and NJ are quite similar. I see you guys as siblings.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>Tops for lax. Football and basketball is decent, but not tops.</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Exactly. Is it even worth mentioning NJ’s population is greater by about 3 million? Not too mention we’re still smaller geographically than MD.</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually it appears we got money on Jersey.</p>

19

<p>lol, NJ is 2nd after MD. I don’t see what you’re trying to say here. $167 average greater, that’s practically nothing. Way to get on a high horse.</p>

<p>I mean honestly NJ is a lot like MD. I mean in the movie Rocket Science when they were portraying Trenton they filmed Baltimore instead. Quite convincing. That doesn’t say much for Baltimore though.</p>

<p>Last I checked Pittsburgh is part of Pennsyltucky. It’s basically Philly holding up the whole state. But it’s still pretty low. (Below Wyoming.)</p>
