The Worst Cities To Find a Job

Forbes reports on the worst cities to find a job:
Cabot, Vt., is a bad location if you want to work in politics but ideal if you're interested in cheese. West Yellowstone, Mont., doesn't have a huge finance sector, but it's a mecca for park rangers. But for most people looking for work, major metropolitan areas offer the best variety of job opportunities, along with the excitement and energy of urban life. That's why college graduates flock to New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago every year to start their careers.

But they might be headed in the wrong direction. Those four cities landed near the bottom of our list of the best cities to get a job. Using U.S. government data supplied by Moody's Economy.com, we ranked the largest 100 metropolitan areas according to their unemployment rates, cost of living, median household income, job growth and income growth.
