Top 10 best US cities to work right now
Technological gurus are traditionally considered the best places to work in San Francisco with its Silicon Valley and Seattle. However, according to the portal GlassdoorSome other cities are also highly rated.
For example, another city from California, San Jose, took first place in the ranking, ahead of San Francisco. In San Jose alone, the average salary of residents is in the six figures - $112 thousand.
In addition, San Diego is in 21st place. Ohio State also has three cities in the Top 25, but none of them made it into the top ten: Columbus - 14th, Cleveland - 15th, Cincinnati - 23rd.
For the ranking, Glassdoor analysts used the following criteria: the number of vacancies in the city, the average salary, the average cost of real estate, as well as the degree of job satisfaction (how satisfied people are with their work and the balance between work and home).
It should be noted that Chicago was only in 22nd overall place, although this city has the most open vacancies at the moment - more than 170 thousand. The leader of the rating, San Jose, has 112 thousand vacant jobs, and the next one, San Francisco, has 125 thousand.
Glassdoor also notes that there are many “hot” jobs that don’t involve working on a computer. For example, in Boston (4th place in the ranking) the most in-demand profession is a nurse-paramedic, and in Austin and Chicago creative directors are held in high esteem.
