Best Places to Find Jobs in 2023 and Two are in New England!

It's not who you know, it's where you live.

At least according to a new study from Wallet Hub.

That's right. You might have to move to make a big career move.

"Ultimately, your luck of finding work depends largely on location," WalletHub reported.

WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 32 key indicators of job-market strength. They range from job opportunities to employment growth to monthly average starting salary.

Here's the good news!

There's a list of the best places to find jobs in 2023 and two are in New England!

The national unemployment rate is 3.7%, back to pre-pandemic levels. Many companies are now actually facing a labor shortage, which puts people looking for jobs in a position of leverage!

And college graduates from the Class of 2023? They should expect to see a big boost in hiring compared to the previous class, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Employers plan to hire 15% more new graduates from the Class of 2023 than they did from the class of 2022.

ANYWAY, enough with all the numbers! Where should we start looking for Zillow listings?
