Top 10 Best Cities to Find a Job in

Kiplinger recently highlighted its 2009 list of the top 10 cities. The list had a heavy focus on cities that have steady or growing employment levels. You’ll notice that many of the 10 cities are not huge metropolitan areas and a number of them are capitals of their state (which would help explain the steady employment through government jobs). You’ll also notice that many of them have major universities, which also offer steady employment.

I thought this was a great list of up-and-coming progressive cities for the twenty something crowd, especially at a time when many are graduating and looking for jobs. Here’s the list:

1. Huntsville, Alabama
2. Albuquerque, New Mexico
3. Washington D.C.
4. Charlottesville, Virginia
5. Athens, Georgia
6. Olympia, Washington
7. Madison, Wisconsin
8. Austin, Texas
9. Flagstaff, Arizona
10. Raleigh, North Carolina

To the Readers:

• Do you agree or disagree with any of these selections?
• Are any of these cities appealing locations for you to move to and live in?
• Where are you looking to relocate to for a job, and why?
