Having worked in Cedar Rapids there's really only 1 employer that makes up the "good job" pool - used to be called Rockwell Collins.

I'd guess there's a similar situation in most of towns on this list, which would mean living there is a huge risk unless you plan on working at the one or two companies in town for life.

I feel like there is an implicit assumption in the article that people without a college degree won't want to switch jobs as often because they have less upward mobility as a whole.
