المنهجية والرؤى الرئيسية
examined a total of 182 US cities, comprising the 150 most populated cities in the country plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state. To score and rank each city, researchers evaluated 31 specific metrics. These metrics were grouped into two primary categories: job market and socioeconomics. The job market category was given a heavier weight in the final calculation.
Factors considered in the job market analysis included:
- Job opportunities per capita
- Unemployment rates
- Job satisfaction levels
- Access to employee benefits
The socioeconomics category focused on the living conditions and financial health of residents, looking at:
- Median annual incomes
- Average work and commute times
- Housing affordability
- Safety statistics
WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo emphasized the importance of looking beyond raw numbers. "It's important to look at more than just the number of jobs available or the unemployment rate when determining the best place to find employment," Lupo wrote. "Quality matters just as much as quantity, from the average salaries and benefits to job security and overall satisfaction."

"من المهم النظر إلى ما هو أكثر من مجرد عدد الوظائف المتاحة أو معدل البطالة عند تحديد أفضل مكان للبحث عن عمل. الجودة تهم بنفس قدر الكمية، من الرواتب والمزايا المتوسطة إلى أمان الوظيفي والرضا العام."
