Best Places to Find a Job
The Hire Sense offered a link to America’s best jobs in the hottest markets from CNNMoney.com yesterday and I happened to see it not long after I had read about Fairfax County, VA at Washingtonpost.com (again). As I commented at Hire Sense, Fairfax County, VA is expected to have more jobs than people at some point in the next 25 years. I’m not sure about the validity of 25-year projections for anything, at this point, but I did find it interesting that something like that could possibly develop so close to D.C. The types of jobs that will be flooding the area are not factory or manufacturing jobs. Rather, they are primarily expected to come from firms servicing lucrative government contracts in the areas of IT, Logistics, and Security.
But back to the CNNMoney.com article and the fact that, in the short term, it appears that Orlando, Florida is the place to be to find a job. As Hire Sense notes, the 2-year job growth forecast for Orlando is 6.8% and 5 of the top 15 cities to find a job for the same period are also located in Florida.
So it’s Florida for the short-term and Virginia in the long term. I smell a road trip.
