Cert cities through April 2015

[sealaw90]

As requested on another thread, here are the list of cities that have appeared on a certificate since 2007. I included the most recent 'cert' of 62 cities. I know that the current register is different in that each city is a cert, but that is not important for purposes of knowing how frequently a city appears. This list does NOT indicate whether anyone was actually hired, and as we know a city has a cert but no one is hired for that city. But hope springs eternal, and if the city has popped up, there is a chance a person is hired several months later for that city.

These are the top 26 cities.  If you want more, let me know.  If the # of ALJs is wrong - let me know.  I know that number changes, but it's an approximation, so don't shoot me!!  If you want to know a particular city, just ask.

Thanks for putting this together! and I think Mt. Pleasant, MI doesn't appear only because it's only existed since 2010. But it's been on every cert (I think) since then. 12 ALJs.

Mt. Pleasant has appeared 4 times. Like you said, I think it's been on every cert since it opened. As the years go by, I think it will move up the list.

It is possible it appeared more often on the previous register between 2010 and 2013.  The problem you run into is that people were not as meticulous about sharing and collecting data prior to this register.  I don't think they thought it was worth the trouble.

Sure, my numbers are based on board participation, which waxes and wanes throughout the last 7 plus years. But I have been diligent in keeping tabs since 2014 certs!
