If you are looking for a new job, San Jose is the place for you to go. A new report released by Glassdoor shows that San Jose is the best city for work in the United States.
To determine what cities are best for jobs, Glassdoor measured the cost of living on a city, how easy it is to find a job there and how happy the employees are with their job and the balance between work and life. To measure all of these, they counted average pay and home value, job satisfaction ratings and number of openings on Glassdoor.
Tons of Work Opportunities in San Jose
San Jose currently has over 61,000 openings on Glassdoor website. The average home value is at $965,000 and average salary is $112,000. These numbers help make San Jose the best place for work in the entire U.S.
Another Bay Area city, San Francisco, follows San Jose on this list. Next up is Seattle, Washington, at third, followed by Boston, the first east coast city on the list. Washington, D.C. is fifth with 160,000 openings and the average salary of $70,000. All of these cities have a few things in common: they have high-paying jobs and lots of them. However, they also have a high cost of living. That’s the tradeoff that you pay for getting some of the best work in the U.S.
The job hiring scores have been improving significantly for both the San Jose and the San Francisco areas. The report also shows that the West Coast is in general the best area for work in the United States, especially the stretch from the Bay Area and up north along the coast. This area has a lot of high-paying, high-tech jobs for people who work in those fields. The West Coast is the best place in the country to start a great career!
Ah yes, the west coast. So beautiful, especially if you’re in the kind of niche that works out well there, and have something great and profitable going for you. Kind of costly in my opinion, but I don’t see why anyone should pass up the opportunity to try it if they think they can.
