5 of the worst US cities to start a career

2. Fresno, California

The city scored insufficiently high in “professional opportunities” (148 out of 150) and low “quality of life” (132 out of 150). The city's unemployment rate is more than 10%, twice the national rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These data indicate that it is quite difficult to build a career in the city, and living there will most likely only add to the problems.

3. Moreno-Wally, California

Moreno-Volli was ranked third in the list of worst cities to start a career for economic reasons. For example, the city ranks fifth from the end when it comes to the number of entry-level jobs for 100 thousands of able-bodied residents.

4. Akron, Ohio

Akron may not be the best city to start a career in, but there are signs the economy is improving. The unemployment rate appears to be moving in the right direction. Let's hope the situation continues to improve for the city's residents. But at the moment this is not the best place to work.

5. Hialeah, FL

This Florida city ranks third worst when it comes to "percentage of population ages 25 to 34." The median household income in the city is $27 per year, and the median per capita income is half that of a family. It will be difficult to start work in this city.
