LINKEDIN NAMES BEST CITIES FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES TO FIND JOBS
As the class of 2021 prepares to enter a rebounding job market, the first thought might be to head to a big coastal city like Los Angeles or New York.
But the odds may be just as good farther off the beaten path in smaller cities of states such as Texas, Vermont or Florida.
Starting off in smaller regions allows recent graduates to get experience while maintaining a lower cost of living especially for those with student loans, says Dan Roth, editor in chief of LinkedIn.
Advantages: The smaller, fast-growing regions could have more limited employment options overall depending on your industry, Roth says.
New York State Team
While the service sector in the New York metropolitan area began showing positive signs for the first time in 13 months in April, the regional unemployment rate continues to challenge communities across the Empire State.
The state Department of Labor reported this week that the unemployment rate across all but three regions in the state remains at or above the national average of 6%.
Meanwhile, New York City s current unemployment rate of 11.2% is nearly thrice the unemployment rate of the city in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, when it was a mere 4.2%.
Government-mandated restrictions across New York and a change in consumer habits doubled the unemployment rate in the state s metro areas from 4.3% in March 2020 to 8.6% last month.
