UCR - Comparison of Big States

Unregistered Carriers on 6/24/2009 - 3385
Unregistered Carriers on 6/25/2009 - 3370
Yesterday's Registrations (IL system) - 32 / $2,363 (avg $74)

I did some research this morning on the number of carriers we are registering vis-a-vis other states with a lot of carriers. I'm not talking about percentages here, but rather the total number of registrations we have processed.

In order, the top 5 states in terms of 2009 registrations to date (with # of unregistered carriers in parenthesis) are:

California - 17,666 (10,416)
Illinois - 15,536 (3,370)
Texas - 14,148 (6,485)
New York - 12,249 (4,041)
Pennsylvania - 11,886 (6,161)

I then looked at the number of 2009 registrations each of us has done since June 1. Lacking any better hypothesis, I figured that if there was nothing exceptional about what we're doing here, the registrations in June would be roughly proportional to the number of unregistered carriers each of us has left. Here are the actual registrations in June:

Illinois - 684
Texas - 450
California - 432
New York - 236
Pennsylvania - 131

So much for my hypothesis! What do these numbers mean? Beats me! But here's what I think it means:

We registered 50% more carriers than the next nearest state because we are actively soliciting our carriers using UCR-Link, our spreadsheet comparer and email. It's no extra work - just different work at less expense! Now that's a fine example of "Dave-math"!!!
