If you’ve had to look for a job in Buffalo, you know it’s tough here. It would be easy to think it’s harder here than anyplace else in America.
Well, here’s good news. We’re not the worst! We’re close….we’re low on the list…but we aren’t at the bottom.
The job search site indeed.com has ranked the country’s 50 most populous cities on their ratio of job postings to unemployed people. We’re 41st, with a ratio of six unemployed people for every posting. That’s bad….but not as bad as places like Los Angeles (eight to one) or Miami (10 to one) or….no surprise here….Detroit (18 to one).
In case you’re wondering, Washington is at the top of the list. And how sad is this? Washington and Jacksonville are the only cities with more job postings than unemployed people.
So if you’re thinking of packing up and heading out of town to find that next job, remember this….sometimes those greener pastures are full of cow dung.
