Having worked in Cedar Rapids there's really only 1 employer that makes up the "good job" pool - used to be called Rockwell Collins.
I'd guess there's a similar situation in most of towns on this list, which would mean living there is a huge risk unless you plan on working at the one or two companies in town for life.
