Yahoo is considering moving some of its operations to Omaha, Nebraska. Big Purple has "applied for the biggest slate of state tax breaks" reports the AP. The news has Nebraska state officials giddy. Yahoo told them it would invest $100 million in the area and create at least 50 jobs with an average salary of $68,700, which is quite a lot in Nebraska. Yahoo is specifically looking at a piece of property in an Omaha suburb, says the AP, confusing us. Doesn't there have to be an urban area for there to be a suburban area? We thought the city outskirts around Omaha had a simpler name: farmland.(Photo by andy54321)
