Yahoo Bias For the CornHuskers?

AP is reporting that while Yahoo employment has suddenly declined by 1500 in California due to pink slip outbreak, the company has applied for a bevy of tax breaks in another state in exchange for promising to create at least 100 jobs that pay more than $68,700. That state? Drumroll:



The office will be a data center and a customer service facility.

No reason why the industry shouldn't spread out, especially since the cost of living in Norcal is nothing short of absurd.

But as a public service to any Yahoo Sunnyvale people who may be relocated, I provide the following info about Omaha which you may find invaluable on a daily basis:

Oldest Living Digital Marketer [considerably thinner than currently, blue blazer flung over left shoulder held by thumb] Personally I find it magical that we live in a country where you can buy bass fishing equipment in the same place you can get a Latte. I really do. It's why, sniff, we are not red states or blue states, we are the United States of America.
