<p>Most college students go to college with the idea of getting a real-world job when they graduate. Geography can sometimes play a role in this. In a survey recently conducted by kiplingers.com, they ranked the Top 10 Cities in the USA for new job creation. </p>
<p>In kiplingers study, cities were evaluated for their job potential. Today, many cities are relying on government programs, universities and stalwart industries, such as health care, to bolster employment in a weak economy
.Kiplingers looked not just at the overall number of jobs, but also at the quality of those positions and the ability of cities to hold on to them when the economy softens
One key indicator of such heartiness is the presence of people who work in professional occupations, such as science, engineering, architecture and education.</p>

<p>good to see some cities in the south :)</p>
<p>The South is where all the major job growth is going to be in the coming years. The dems haven’t been able to ruin the economies there.</p>
<p>
Speak for yourself. Quite a few Southerners are not at all pleased at the yankees migrating south. ;)</p>
<p>

<p>Don’t worry – they are working on it. If they have their way, all states will function like California!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, totally. Too bad Ahh-nuld is a Republican right?</p>

<p>*Has economic twilight come to the Sun Belt?
Steady growth of boom times is now just a memory in once-thriving region</p>
<p>In this way, for a generation or more, the Sun Belt thrived like no other region in America — a growth so steady it felt as though the boom would never end. But now it has, replaced by a bust that has left some swaths of the region suffering as severely as anywhere in the current recession.</p>
<p>What brought the dark clouds to the Sun Belt, and are they here to stay?*</p>
<p>BosWash ftw!</p>

<p>"Oh yeah, totally. Too bad Ahh-nuld is a Republican right? "</p>
<p>Besides the fact that he calls himself a Republican, name one position that Ah-nold has that is more consistant with the GOP than the Democrats. He doesn’t have one drop of conservatism in him. He is a RINO (Republican in name only).</p>
<p>And ilovebagels: sorry, but I don’t listen to anything msnbc says. sorry.</p>

<p>His wife is a niece of JFK.</p>
<p>Albuquerque, Olympia, and Flagstaff are all very nice places.</p>
<p>
It’s an Associated Press (AP) story that just happens to be carried on the MSNBC site.</p>
<p>But that’s OK–you don’t want to read anything written by those Commie Pinkos at AP, either. :p</p>
<p>I see that Madison was included on this list. My wife and I had to leave Madison about a year after we graduated due to the poor job market. The impact of having a 50,000 student university in a city of 200,000 person city is that entry level jobs are super competitive. This drives down salary and makes good jobs all the more difficult to come by. The cost of living is lowish, but if you intend to remain on the isthmus (downtown area) the living conditions are pretty poor and parking is pricey. I loved Madison, but I don’t know that it merits a place on this list.</p>
<p>While jobs may be more comperitive to get because demand to stay exceeds job growth, you cannot argue with the numbers. Madison’s job growth has been outstanding for the Midwest. That’s why I hate anecdotes. The numbers don’t lie. The last year certainly saw a pullback but the insurance, research and medical hightech areas are poised for rapid growth next year.</p>
