I'm sure it would have been on it in the 60s, if the list existed then.

When I left Detroit in the late 1980s, the jobs were in the suburbs. Meybe that's what the article means -- the best jobs in the suburbs. Because last year when I was in Detroit, I wouldn't think there was anything available besides service jobs in the hotels.Quote:

What happened to Atlanta? That was hyped as a boomtown not too long ago.
Doesn't it make you wonder New York and LA don't even appear?
My apologies to anyone who believes these lists, but they're almost always b.s.. They sell magazines. They get clicks. They're repeated on TV. They're discussed at the water cooler and at the coffee shop. But they're pseudoscience.
These other lists I found from a quick internet search are probably comparably reliable:
The world's best cities to live in
The most dangerous U.S. cities
The worst cities for retirement
The best cities to flip homes in the US
The worst cities for an active lifestyle
The most beautiful cities in the world
The most miserable cities
The best cities for singles
The world's least friendly cities
The most stressed-out cities
The most dog-friendly cities
The most redneck cities
The best cities for living the american dream
The worst cities for road rage
The worst cities for spring allergies
The best and worst cities for valentine's day
And so on.
It's not even possible to scientifically conduct such a study. What jobs? Petroleum engineer? Forester? Film editor? User experience designer? Maybe an analysis of the best cities for orthodontist jobs would stand a chance of telling us something useful.
Sad to see Bloomberg stooping to this, and not even doing the "research" themselves.
These lists are fun to talk about, but I suggest we shouldn't put any credence in them.
Here's a good one:
The Best Cities for Millennials

depends on what your degree[[s) are and what type of company/organization you want to be employed/contracted with.
I've had an absolutely horrible time finding new work and trying to rise out of being "underemployed" for the past 4 years...
