Five Best Cities to Get a Job

The job market has experienced turbulence in the face of changing economic pressures, and the U.S. unemployment rate currently sits at 4.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Layoffs, slow hiring, and profuse underemployment mean that many workers may be seeking to relocate in order to increase job prospects.

If you find yourself in the same boat, we’ve prepared a list of the five best cities to get a job. These cities feature concrete opportunity for employment and vibrant economies for workers. Read on to discover where your employment journey can take you next.

5. Bloomington, Minnesota

Bloomington, which is right next to Minneapolis, is also home to the Mall of America. Retail opportunities abound, and not all of the stores are poorly-lit nightmares.

4. Little Rock, Arkansas

Your dad’s cousin has a friend who is the receptionist at a veterinary clinic here, and she could put in a good word for you when she retired next May. Didn’t you say you wanted to work with animals when you did that career project in fourth grade? It sounds like a great fit.

3. Nashville, Tennessee

“Musician who hasn’t made it big yet” is one of the fastest growing career sectors. You don’t even have to make music in order to claim this title! Move to Nashville to be amongst your peers in the industry and spend your days Ubering musicians who have made it.

2. Jobstown, New Jersey

It’s like the name says. And yes, it is a real place.

1. Las Vegas, Nevada

The city of Las Vegas alone is estimated to employ over 20,000 strippers, and there’s plenty of room for you to join their ranks! All it takes is a little bravery and some gentle stretching, and you could find yourself making over $37,000 a year. The yearly income for strippers is only slightly less than the state’s starting teacher pay, and is significantly more fun.
