Miami ranked among worst cities for jobs - South Florida Business Journal:
Miami ranked among the 10 worst cities for job seekers in November, moving to fifth place from fourth in October, according to an index by CareerCast.com and JobSerf, which measures U.S. managerial recruitment activity.
Tampa Bay replaced Miami in the No. 4 spot. Topping the worst cities list was Riverside, Calif., followed by Detroit and Memphis.
If you’re looking for a job, Washington, D.C., is the place to be, topping the list of best cities to find one. Boston, San Francisco, Seattle and Atlanta round out the top five.
Nationwide, after two months of declines, there was some positive job growth, as the national volume of managerial openings online increased by 5.9 points to 73.7.
The index scores against a base year of 2007, in which the number of job listings available online during each month of 2007 equals 100 points. That means that a score of less than 100 indicates the number of job listings for a given month is less than during the same month in 2007, while a value greater than 100 means that more jobs are available than were during the same month in 2007.
