Hi! Thank you so much for your work, Mandy. I wonder if you've ever considered listing the openings by category or alphabetical order -- or any order that does not prioritize "coastal jobs" (ie NY, DC, California). The way your newsletter is currently organized seems to perpetuate the idea that jobs in these areas are better and more desirable in some way than other parts of the country. As a long-time journalist (as well an an journalism educator and hiring manager), I've seen so many early to mid-career folks bypass excellent opportunities in affordable cities only to find themselves in career ruts and facing economic stress because they believe they should be in the biggest market possible.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts!
