Florida City Voted Top 3 Best Places to Find a Job
For the last couple of years, Tampa Bay has been voted as one of the best places to move to. Many people have also speculated as to why. Could it be because of the weather? or maybe it’s because of the beaches? Thanks to a recent study by WalletHub, we now know. Tampa is voted as one of the best places to find a new or better job.
If you’re looking for the right time to go on your job hunt in Tampa, the time is NOW. “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 WalletHub Analyst Cassandra Heppe. “Currently, workers have a lot of negotiating power. Well-qualified job candidates are in a great position to acquire competitive salaries and benefits.”
If you are on the hunt, your best chance at finding a new job may be in another city. WalletHub did everyone a solid and compared more than 180 cities in the United States across 31 key indicators of job-market strength. They also looked at criteria such as median annual income, monthly average starting salary, employment growth, job opportunities, and more to determine the best cities for jobs.
Top 3
3. Salt Lake City, Utah
Even though Salt Lake City came in at number 3, they ranked the highest in many categories. The Utah city had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the US at 3%, the highest rank in net employment outlook, but the factor that put them above other cities was a law. Employers are prohibited from asking candidates about previous salaries. This ensures people are offered fair wages and that prospects are less likely to experience systemic pay gaps.
2. Tampa, Florida
If you needed more validation that moving to Tampa was the right one, here it is. Our home has the 5th highest number of full-time job opportunities, 6th rank for employment growth rate, and one of the best job security rates in the country. Did we mention Tampa is one of the top cities for singles? That may not help with a job, but it’s still a great reason to move here.
1. Scottsdale, Arizona
If you’re looking for a job in 2024 the best city to find it in is in Scottsdale, Arizona. With plenty of hiring opportunities for people entering the workforce, Scottsdale ranks the highest in the nation for job growth.
