Huntsville Ranked 30th Best Place In America To Find A Job
Huntsville, AL is ranked the 30th best place in America to find a job according to online website WalletHub.
In order to determine the best job markets in the U.S., WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across two key dimensions, “Job Market” and “Socio-economics.” WalletHub assigned a heavier weight to the former, considering the fact that factors in that category most heavily influence a job seeker’s decision in terms of relocation for employment.
They then evaluated the two dimensions using 31 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for job seekers. Data for metrics marked with an asterisk (*) were available at the state level only.
Finally, they determined each city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample. In determining our sample, we considered only the city proper in each case, excluding cities in the surrounding metro area.
Three other Alabama cities made the list as well, with Birmingham coming in at 114, Mobile at 132 and Montgomery coming in at 144.
The number one city? That honor goes to Scottsdale, AZ.
