While most people outside the United States (US) believe that New York and San Francisco are the most ideal and suitable cities to start with, the internet has unleashed a list of the "Best & Worst Places to Start a Career" in the US, published by WalletHub.
According to this recently published list, Atlanta, Georgia clinches the title of the best city.
The list ranked 182 cities using several parameters, such as job growth, affordable housing, average commute, starting salary, and more.
According to WalletHub, "Atlanta is the best place to start a career, boasting one of the highest growth rates in the median household income, at around 8.2 percent annually. The median annual household income in Atlanta is already pretty high as well, at nearly $85,400.”
The survey also showed a surprising fact about this city. It claims that this city is perfect for opening up a business. Most companies based in Atlanta are rated 4 out of 5, with a high satisfaction rate.
Orlando in Florida bagged the title of the second-best city for starting a career in the US, and the third-best city is Tampa, which is also in Florida.
Meanwhile, Pearl City in Hawaii is the worst city in the US. The city is at the bottom of the list.
Moreover, New York ranked 179th among the 182 cities and San Francisco claimed the 51st position on the list.
What makes a city the best?
Wallethub analyst Chip Lupo explained, “Transitioning out of school and into the workforce can be a difficult and stressful process, but certain cities make things a lot easier than others. The best cities for starting a career not only have a lot of job opportunities but also provide substantial income growth potential and satisfying work conditions.”
“It’s also important to consider factors such as how fun a city is to live in or how good of a place it is for raising a family, to ensure life satisfaction outside of your career,” Lupo added.
