Five years after the global financial crisis hit in 2008 and Wall Street crashed, unemployment remains a top problem in the United States. Across the 50 states, the unemployment rate is 7.6 per cent in March, slightly down from 7.7 per cent in February 2013.
It is still higher than the average of 5.81 per cent from 1948 to 2013.
However, there are some cities that logged better employment rates than others. Forbes Magazine compiled the top 10 U.S. cities where employment opportunities are higher based on statistics provided by human resources company Adecco Staffing which in turn sources it from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Here are the top 10.
1. Bethesda, Maryland - This city enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate of 5.2 per cent as of February 2013. Jobs are available at hospitality, construction and healthcare sectors, while skills in demand include specialty trade contractors, accounting and bookkeeping and food service. Besides being the best place to find work, Bethesda is also number one on Forbes's list of the country's most educated small towns, on CNNMoney's top-earning American towns and second on Forbes's most livable cities.
