 Before you decide to relocate for a job opportunity, analyze the job market, the prospective employer’s corporate culture, your earning potential, and cost of living differential. Use data gathered by top researchers to find the best places to live and work in the USA. STUDY THE JOB MARKET Each month, LinkedIn shares valuable insights about the job market in its LinkedIn Workforce Report that’s divided into two sections–a national section and a city section. The national report offers insights into hiring, skills gaps, and migration trends across the USA. The city report shares insights into local employment trends for the top 20 largest metropolitan areas in the USA. The November 2019 LinkedIn Workforce Report can be viewed at this link: https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/resources/linkedin-workforce-report-november-2019 To find the reports for future months, simply change the name of the month-year on the hyperlink above.
