Business 2.0 worked with Moody’s www.Economy.com to identify 10 cities that have just about hit rock bottom and are on the way up. The bad news is that the East and West coasts are still not expected to recover as quickly as other portions of the U.S.

Texas had the most cities listed, which were Austin, Dallas and Houston. Here is the full list from Moody’s www.Economy.com:
