Texas lands 2 of the Top 10 best cities for jobs in US ranking
Austin landed top 5 in the best cities for jobs in America rankings, according to a new WalletHub report. The Texas capital city was No. 5 on the list and had one of the highest job market rankings in comparison to Scottsdale, Arizona (ranked No. 1), Tampa, Florida (No. 2), and Salt Lake City, Utah (No. 3).
WalletHub compared over 180 cities nationwide across 31 key indicators of job-market strength. The criteria ranked U.S. cities based on job opportunities per job seeker to employment growth to the monthly average starting salary.
“With the U.S. experiencing a low unemployment rate and many employers still having labor shortages, now is an ideal time to find a job,” said Cassandra Happe, WalletHub analyst in the release. “Currently, workers have a lot of negotiating power. Well-qualified job candidates are in a great position to acquire competitive salaries and benefits.”
Plano, a suburb north of Dallas, also snagged a spot in the top 10 at No. 9 for one of the best cities to find a job. Other Texas cities that made WalletHub’s top 50 list include Irving (No. 35), San Antonio (No. 41), and Dallas (No. 45). These cities beat out larger metropolitan areas like Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
