My top criteria for job location is climate This is followed by friends and family and then job availability. Given these criteria Arizona, Florida and Georgia meet many if not all of my requirements. The other designated states have more criteria than the rest of the country as a whole thus their rankings as second and third choices.

Lab 1 Part 2 Map Critique (Good Map)
This map shows a lot of information in an uncluttered format. There is a title explaining what the map contains and a legend. The colors progress from blue for negative population change to red for highly positive population change. This is intuitive for rates at the opposite ends of the spectrum. The map is uncluttered and the rate of change data are categorized sensibly. No north arrow is needed as direction is easily assumed.
Lab 1 Part 2 Map Critique (Bad Map)
This is an example of a bad map. No orientation or north arrow. Also, no legend or scale so one does not know how far the housing complex is from the major roads. Typical of real estate sales maps. They are usually vague with no scale so that potential buyers are not discouraged by distance before inspecting the property
