Commonwealth

Tweet

There are many disadvantages to living in a commonwealth state, particularly in the small city in which I live. My city has old money and believes in keeping prehistoric sites alive rather than creating jobs for the population here. There is very little opportunity here. Though the cost of living is cheaper here than most areas, finding a job is a million times harder even with post-secondary education. The city was built on a major textile company that filed Chapter 11 a few years ago leaving most of the city that it employed jobless, unemployed with the option to use the Trade Act and return to school or take an incentive. Do you live in a Commonwealth state? If so, what do you think would change if your state wasn't Commonwealth? Non-commonwealth state comments welcome!
