Forbes magazine says the Lexington metro area is the fifth-best place in the nation for business and careers. Lexington moved up 25 places from its 30th ranking in 2007, Forbes says in its latest issue. Raleigh, N.C., was first, followed by Boise, Idaho; Fort Collins, Colo.; Des Moines, Iowa; and Lexington. The remaining members of the top 10 are Atlanta; Richmond, Va.; Olympia, Wash.; Spokane, Wash.; and Knoxville, Tenn. Knoxville home of a University of Kentucky sports rival, the University Tennessee was fifth in 2007 and was displaced by Lexington in the 2008 rankings. "This year, Raleigh, N.C., is number one for the second year in a row due in part, to its strong job growth," Forbes says "For the third straight year, the Southeast is home to half of the top ten, however there is new blood near the top with Lexington, Atlanta and Richmond joining the ranks and Spokane and Fort Collins also jumping ahead. Rounding out the top ten is Knoxville, Tenn. where business costs are 14 percent below the national average."

So if Paducah is ranked in the 5th percentile, that would mean Possum Trot is ranked what?
I don't think I'd want to live in Boise, Idaho or Des Moines, Iowa..I'll stick with my dead end job in beautiful Palm Beach, Florida.
Not sure about Possum Trot but Nonesuch has to be up there, at least ahead of West Palm Beach.
