With today’s economy and the rising unemployment rate, more people are open to other options in finding a job.  Relocation is probably not one of the most attractive option, but it is a good one at this point.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics posted a list of the 25 best cities to find a job where unemployment rates are the lowest.  Six of the 25 cities didn’t even have any change in their unemployment rates.

  1. Sioux City, Iowa
  2. Pocatello, Idaho
  3. Odessa, Texas
  4. Provo, Utah
  5. Salt Lake City, Utah
  6. Missoula, Montana
  7. Des Moines, Iowa
  8. Charlestown, West Virginia
  9. Great Falls, Montana
  10. Portsmouth, New Hampshire
  11. Lincoln, Nebraska
  12. Iowa City, Iowa
  13. Midland, Texas
  14. Lafayette, Louisiana
  15. Ames, Iowa
  16. Billings, Montana

Yes, but how high were their unemployment rates to begin with? If they were higher than the national average already, probably not such hot job spots now, either.

Katie… the list includes the 25 cities “where unemployment rates are the lowest” compared to all other cities. And six of those 25 didn’t even have any change in their unemployment rates, meaning they always have some of the lowest unemployment rates. Sorry for the confusion.
