- whalesalad 9y agoDoes Boulder count as the Midwest? Plus... Colorado/Denver/Boulder has a lot more sex appeal than Des Moines IA or Columbus OH so I’m not surprised it isn’t facing the same salary challenges as the actual Midwest.
- shagie 9y agoColorado is in the West - Mountain region in the Census ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Census_Regions_and_Division_of_the_United_States.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Census_Regions_and_D... ). It isn't part of the breadbasket / midlands culture ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/11/08/which-of-the-11-american-nations-do-you-live-in/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/11/08/w... ) It doesn't have the midwest linkages in Facebook ( https://petewarden.com/2010/02/06/how-to-split-up-the-us/ https://petewarden.com/2010/02/06/how-to-split-up-the-us/ ). It isn't part of the hopelessly midwestern culture ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3B9iu3QAwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3B9iu3QAwM ). So nope... Colorado isn't midwestern.
