Easiest Cities to Find A Job

Easier Cities For Job Hunters

Sure the national unemployment rate is 10 percent, but some areas have it better than others—especially these ten cities.

Job search engine Juju.com ranked the cities  based on the number of unemployed in a metro area vs. the number of jobs available.

The rankings (and rates) were determined by using government data on the number of unemployed people in each city and then dividing that by the number of jobs posted online in thousands of employer job Web sites and career portals.

Check out the ten cities where jobs are easier to come by.
