*Data accounts for top cities with the largest decrease in job growth year over year (2010-2011).
Heidi Golledge, CEO and Co-founder of CareerBliss says, “After researching millions of jobs, company reviews and salary data points over the last two years, CareerBliss data concludes that there has been significant losses in jobs related to education, infrastructure and construction. If the President’s call to invest 50 billion in infrastructure and modernize education is heeded we could very well see job growth in these areas and an immediate increase in career happiness for the US and specifically the cities on our list which truly need a boost to their job growth and morale."
In addition, CareerBliss data shows that many of the cities in the Top 25 have large industries which were impacted by the recession including, the automotive industry, construction, real estate and finance which impacts their overall ranking.
Golledge says, “Although the need for jobs in the top 25 cities is great, there are industries such as technology and healthcare that continue to grow and thrive. The hope for all is that we continue to see a healthy job market for each and every city around the nation and continue to build happier work environments.”
