Supply & Demand: 10 States Supply the Jobs You Demand

Posted on | February 9, 2010 | No Comments

Employers posted 382,000 new jobs between December and January, and 750,000 new jobs between October and January.  The unemployment rate is creeping downward (from 10% to 9.7%), but the job market is thawing unevenly.  Some states are feeling the bounty of the recovery, while others are waiting to exhale.  But, before you dash across state lines to a state with lots of available jobs, consider the competition.  It’s better to be #100 in line for 500 jobs than #100 in line for 50 jobs.

As always, Careersthatdontsuck.com is here to help.  We’ve assembled a list of the states with the most jobs and the least competition.

Washington, DC (one job for every 1.12 unemployed people)

Boston, MA (one job for every 2.02 unemployed people)
