D.C.-Area Named Best Place To Find A Job
Looking for work? It shouldn’t be too difficult in the D.C.-metro area, at least according to a new list of best places to find a job. The rankings, published by Forbes and based on data from human resources firm Adecco USA, took into account employment levels, job growth and job demand.
The D.C. region ranks first. But while people from around the country flock to the District for jobs, many residents are out of work, with large sections of the city facing chronic, high unemployment. The reasons behind such a disparity are complex and interwoven, ranging from many lacking the education credentials needed for jobs in D.C., to others having criminal records.
