Planning on moving my family and want suggestions on where the best jobs, economy, safety, cost of?

If I understand what (I believe) you're looking for I would suggest Sioux Falls , SD . The cost of living and unemployment are some of the lowest in the nation . Also , when considering schooling it rates very high in US educational standards . It has a low crime rate . Supports small businesses and is able to attract large business with its attractive economic element . One might consider its cultural benefits . Along with those associated in the city it is easy to travel to Minneapolis , MN , Omaha , NE , Chicago , IL , St. Louis or Kansas City , MO .
