A new study says Orlando is one of the the suckiest places in the nation for millennials to live.

Apartment List, a San Francisco-based apartment and home rental website, has published a recent report about the top U.S. metros for millennials. And who's near the bottom? Orlando. Out of 75 ranked cities, Orlando fared 73rd overall in job market quality, affordability, and livability.

According to the Sept. 8 study, the incredibly terrible score was due mostly to "low median-wages and slow wage growth." Orlando's millennial unemployment rate also hit at just 7.3%, which is more than twice that of Orlando's overall 3.2% unemployment rate. In the category of job market quality, Orlando scored just 21 out 100 points.

Only a small handful of cities fared worse for the category. Riverside, California earned 20 points, North Port, Florida earned 11, and Memphis, Tennessee earned 6.

2. I'm not a bit surprised

It's all tourist and service industry and has poor public transit. The city just hasn't bothered to invest in livability amenities, it's a libertarian paradise in many ways and I don't see the tourist attractions stepping up to do much of anything for the city, itself.
