San Jose ranked No. 1 for finding jobs p1 - Military Transition - Military Times EDGE

Applicants looking for a job in a metropolitan area are most likely to have luck in San Jose, Calif., according to the online job search engine Juju.com. Juju.com’s March Job Search Difficulty Index ranked San Jose as having the easiest job search, followed by Washington, D.C.; Baltimore; New York; and Hartford, Conn. Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Denver, Oklahoma City and Austin, Texas, round out the top 10. Detroit was last.

Juju.com calculates its index by dividing the number of unemployed workers in each metro area, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the number of jobs in its database.

“The Job Search Difficulty Index provides a useful guide to the relative difficulties faced by job seekers in particular geographies,” the company states in a news release, “but should be considered in the context of the well-known challenges of measuring and analyzing unemployment data.”
