When it comes to the job hunt,location is (debatably) just as important as things like salary and benefits. After all, you want to be happy in your profession - but you want to be happy where you LIVE, or too. Glassdoor recently released its list of best cities for jobs in 2016,which identifies US metros with the highest overall Glassdoor Job Score, based on a comparison of the 50 most populated US metros. Each region's Glassdoor Job Score is based on a five-point scale (five being the best city for a job, or one being the worst). These ratings were determined by weighing four factors equally: hiring opportunity,cost of living, work-life balance, and job satisfaction. See the full list below!1.
