Not surprisingly there isn't one Southern city on the list. Cheap Southern labor hurts everyone, especially women and children.

I guess this is supposed to be progress, but when at best women are earning 77.8% of what men earn (in city #18 L.A.) and only 53.8% in #3 Bridgeport, CT I find this pathetic.
