I’d suspect that the study is on to something. For some reason, rain and gray skies makes many people lethargic.

Perhaps this might explain why Microsoft writes such poor software? Everyone up there in Washington is probably depressed.

Great weather in El Centro, CA, but 29.2% unemployment, meaning a real unemployment rate of around 60%.
I moved to Minneapolis when the unemployment rate was 2%.
Nice weather doesn’t pay bills.

Hi, glad to see new posts on your excellent blog.

With all due respect to those University of Toronto dudes, if their theory were right things wouldn’t be as dismal as they are here in sunny Southern California. Here it’s a pretty good bet every interview you will ever get will be on a nice sunny and happy day. But there still ain’t many jobs.

Tania, SF is the most beautiful place in the world to this SoCal boy. If I had to be despondent anywhere, SF would be one of my picks.
