It seems that the currents state of unemployment seems to be continually fluctuating. Trends continue to change and grow with the publication of each new report. And of course those trends can depend greatly on not only what industry you work in but of course the area in which you live.
Indeed.com recently released a report that showed a list of 50 cities and how hard it is to find a job in each one. The report shows just how competition can vary greatly depending on where it is your looking for work.
This isn’t the first time we’ve talked here on the Ntroduction blog about which Metropolitan areas are the easiest to look for work in and this list isn’t to far off from what those results were a few months ago. But what’s interesting to examine while looking at these numbers is the actual ratio between the job postings for each area versus each unemployed person.
It can give you a much clearer picture of what you may be up against, or not be up against, depending on where you live.
The top 5 most competitive markets and their job posting per unemployed persons are,
- Las Vega, NV 1:7
- Sacramento, CA 1:7
- Los Angeles, CA 1:8
- Detroit, MI 1:9
- Miami, FL 1:9
The top 5 least competitive markets were,
- Washington, D.C. 1:1
- San Jose, CA 1:2
- Baltimore, MD 1:2
- New York, NY 1:2
- Salt Lake City, UT 1:2
If the area you live in falls into one of the more competitive markets be sure and read through some of our posts here on the Ntroduction blog to find ways you can stand above the competition. And of course be sure and check out the full results at Indeed.com
