if you're looking for a job in Baltimore, you're in the right place. That's according to a recent Forbes Magazine list that ranked Charm City as the fourth best city in the country to find a job. The magazine based its findings on a monthly report issued by Juju.com, a job listing aggregation site.
The JuJu "Job Search Difficulty Index" tracks how hard it is to find a job in the nation's 50 major cities. Juju divides the number of unemployed workers in each city, using reports provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the number of jobs in their index of millions of online job postings.
According to the site, Baltimore has 1.89 unemployed persons for each advertised job. Washington, D.C. ranks as the best city for job seekers with 1.11 unemployed per job advertisement. San Jose, Ca. is No. 2 with just 1.20 out of work individuals per job listing and New York City at No. 3 has 1.63 jobseekers for each job advertised.
