>Job Corps centers are located in almost every major city in almost every state.

This seems pretty far off the mark. Using their program finder, I find (for instance) that the only one in Colorado is in Colbran. As a Colorado native, I expected that the one in Colorado would at least be in a town I had heard of.

They are in some kind of surprising places. There's not really one in the Seattle metro area, for instance. But there are 2 a piece in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

I wonder if the weird locations are entirely down to real estate, or if there's a local demographic question or even a correlation between remoteness of location and success rate.

That particular location is run by the US Forestry service. Collbran is very close to a National Forest, so the location seems appropriate.

And in the context of "put the Job Corps Center where the affiliated jobs are", it makes perfect sense. The "Seattle area" center is similarly placed in a lumber town, more than hour's drive (without traffic) from the Seattle.

All I'm saying is that the assertion that there's one in every major city is pretty wide of the mark.

I could have sworn there was one in Colorado Springs, but there isn't one on the map. I wonder if I'm misremembering or if it shut down.
