WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 31 key indicators of job-market strength to determine the best cities for job opportunities, employment growth, and average starting salaries. 

The two fundamental dimensions the team at WalletHub focused on were: "Job Market" and "Socio-Economics." They evaluated these two dimensions through 31 relevant metrics such as unemployment rate, job satisfaction, average work & commute time, and median annual income. 

So, how did Minneapolis compare to other cities across the country?

Out of 182 cities, Minneapolis ranked #24, which I would say is rather impressive. 

In terms of 'Job Market,' we ranked 58th, but in terms of 'Socio-Economics,' we ranked 5th!

St. Paul, unfortunately, did not measure up as nicely. St. Paul was 118th in 'Job Market' and 31st in 'Socio-Economics.'

Now, let's see what towns ring up the top and bottom of WalletHub's study.
