Business Insider recently looked at the best US cities to live in after the coronavirus pandemic. Many of those cities were located in the Midwest region. We took a look at the top cities in our ranking in the Midwest. Five of the top 20 cities were in Iowa, including Des Moines and Iowa City. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. The Midwest seems to be a great place to move to after the novel coronavirus pandemic subsides, based on our recent analysis of US cities. Business Insider created an overall ranking of the best cities to move to after the pandemic using different economic, educational, and employment metrics along with other measures that someone may factor in when deciding where to move next. All nine of our metrics were standardized using z-scores so that we could then add the values together to get an overall index for each city. For more information on our overall method and list of data sources, click here. It is important to note that these figures are from before the pandemic, so it is likely some of these cities may have been more financially and economically impacted than others during this unprecedented time. For instance, Springfield, Illinois, which ranked at the top of our list, had a pre-coronavirus unemployment rate close to the national average.

  • Traders hating on Trump Media are making millions betting against it
    Fast Company, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 12:06 PM

    Betting websites offer an easier way to bet against Trump: make a wager on the 2024 election. Rooting for Donald Trump to fail has rarely been this profitable. Just ask a hardy band of mostly amateur Wall Street investors who have collectively made tens of millions of dollars over the past month by betting that the stock price of his social media business—Truth Social—will keep dropping despite massive buying by Trump loyalists and wild swings that often mirror the candidate’s latest polls, court trials and outbursts on Trump Social itself.
