According to the Washington Post<\/a><\/strong>, there were a record 6.6 million jobs available in the U.S. in March 2018. As a result, unemployment figures have also been hitting record lows. This is what\u2019s called a \u2018candidate\u2019s market.\u2019 That\u2019s because applicants have all the trump cards in their hand: if they\u2019re rejected from an open position, there are plenty more to fall back on.<\/p>\n

All that being said, it\u2019s not the same story across America. The picture is rosier in some areas than others. In particular, the number of jobs available in some cities has skyrocketed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) keeps tabs on the number of jobs made available each year, and there are some that might surprise you. Others, may not be so much of a shock.<\/p>\n

But aside from that, you also have to think of \u2018liveability.\u2019 There\u2019s no point getting a job if it\u2019s no fun living there as well. So, let\u2019s get down to business. The first thing we\u2019re going to take a look at is what makes a city good for jobs. It\u2019s not just about whether there are open positions somewhere or not: some cities are much better for specific industries than others.<\/p>\n

What Makes the Best Cities to Find a Job?<\/h2>\n

The most important are basic employment figures: is the local economy expanding or shrinking? BLS keeps records of how the economy is performing at the smallest scales: towns, cities, and metro areas.<\/p>\n

Certain areas have specific industries. LA and Seattle, for example, are well-known homes of the music industry. Houston is known for air and space (aeronautics). That\u2019s why, in the list below, we\u2019ve looked at which kinds of jobs are available in each area.<\/p>\n

Out list also looks briefly at what makes each area stand out, and makes it a nice place to live. There\u2019s no point moving somewhere if you won\u2019t feel like you fit in. That\u2019s especially the case since there are so many places you could move to.<\/p>\n

What’s right for you depends significantly on your personality type. There are opportunities for introverted people<\/strong><\/a> and jobs for people with high energy<\/strong><\/a>. You need to decide where you full in the introvert-extrovert spectrum in order to be happy at work.<\/p>\n

1) NYC, NY<\/h2>\n

New York City offers promises of jobs and a better life to people from across the globe. But it\u2019s not just living on reputation. Each year NYC adds over a hundred thousand new jobs to its total of almost 10 million people living and working there.<\/p>\n

Is New York Good for Jobs?<\/h3>\n

Nowhere in the U.S. creates more jobs each year than New York\u2014it\u2019s been one of the best cities for job growth for a long time, in actual figures of jobs, at least. When you combine NYC with the metro area of Newark and New Jersey, the area creates almost 150,000 new jobs each year (according to the BLS). As of July 2018, over 9,800,000 people are living and working in NYC.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a great choice no matter what you choose to do with your career. In Manhattan, you have the headquarters of some of the biggest companies in the world. It\u2019s a dream for office and finance work (think Wall Street). But aside from Manhattan, there are an incredible variety of places to work.<\/p>\n

Which Jobs are Available in New York?<\/h4>\n

According to the Bureau of Labor Market Information<\/a><\/strong>, there are several industries thriving in NYC.<\/p>\n
