Ranking Competitive Cities

The Milken Institute's survey of best performing cities 2007 is out. Ranking of cities are based upon job growth 2001 and 0225, wage and salary growth in 2000 and 2004, short term job growth (march 06 versus March 2007), relative high tech GDP growth with 2001 and 2005 as a base-line, location quotients relative to job growth (Milken, 11).
Orange County didn't make the list. Riverside and Ontario, and Las Vegas made the list. I wonder which cities will make the list in 2008, what with all the economic changes across America.
