Here’s some good news to start off your work week.

Williamson County, Tennessee, home to Franklin and Brenwood, has just been named on Forbes’ new list of “Best Places to Get Ahead” – places where income growth and job growth are highest.

“There are very few economies that have grown as much from manufacturing as those in Tennessee, due, in part, to its more hospitable business environment and less entrenched unions. Williamson County, outside of Nashville, has a median income of $81,449, up almost 18% from 2000. Jobs have jumped 5.5% per year over that time.”

Other places that made the list include Stafford County, outside of Washington D.C.; Forsyth County, GA, outside of Atlanta; and Delaware County outside of Columbus, OH.
