Where are all the jobs… Sioux City of course.
We know that Sioux City is an awesome place to live, but it has also been ranked one of the best places to find a job.
That’s right, not just in Iowa, but the entire country. Beyond.com has compared its data and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to show job seekers where they have a better chance of getting hired.
Sioux City comes in at lucky No. 7. You may ask, why did Sioux City rank so high? The study cited the booming transportation, customer service, and manufacturing industries that are located here. The statistics also factor in the unemployed-to-jobs ratio. Sioux City ranks at a 3:1.
This isn’t the first time Sioux City has been recognized. Last year, Sioux City was named as one of the best small places for business and careers by Forbes magazine.
So what does this data tell us as a community? That this is one great community to call home. Great culture, great people, and great careers are what make Sioux City great.
