In a week that included the midterm elections and the announcement that the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.8%–the lowest since the recession–jobs, and how seekers might find them in the fourth quarter, have been on everyone’s minds.
As always, job seekers are reminded that flexibility is key, and though relocation may not be a welcome option, a new market could provide opportunities your current city is not.
To determine the easiest and hardest cities for finding a job right now, Indeed.com‘s data team took a look at the population of each metropolitan region, comparing it to the number of job listings for that area. Indeed aggregates job postings from thousands of sites across the web, drawing from staffing agencies, individual company career sites, other job boards, and professional organizations and associations to provide the greatest possible collection of opportunities in each geography.
