This year`s "best places for jobs" list is easily the most depressing since we began compiling our annual rankings almost a decade ago. In the past--even in bad years--there were always stalwart areas creating lots of new jobs. In 2007`s survey 283 out of 393 metros areas showed job growth, and those at the top were often growing employment by at least 5% to 6%. Last year the number dropped to 63. This year`s survey, measuring growth from January 2009 to January 2010, found only 13 metros with any growth.

As far as tourist destinations go, few cities can rival the likes of New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Orlando and Los Angeles. But if you haven’t been before, each of these places can overwhelm and easily fill an entire week. The solution? Cities well designed to be visited in a weekend–or better yet, a long weekend. The best weekend cities offer at least one or two marquee attractions like world-class museums or monuments, a unique cultural atmosphere and enough great food to let visitors know they are somewhere special–all for less money and easier navigability.

Job growth (2000-2010): 41.2%
Larimer County just scored an ACE in the hole. In April, NASA chose Loveland for its Aerospace and Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Park. Partially funded by the space agency, the ACE park is expected to house 100 aerospace and clean energy companies and could create 7,000 regional jobs and 10,000 statewide.
Larimer County was a natural choice for the ACE Park. The area is already home to major tech companies like Hewlett Packard, Intel and AMD, many of which have strong ties to research facilities at Colorado State University. And the park is set to be built on a former campus for Agilent Technologies.
Tourism is also a main draw for the area. The Rocky Mountain National Park draws an estimated 4 million nature lovers to the town of Estes Park each summer. Local businesses want to make that tourist economy year round with plans for a 50-acre adventure park.
