It's not just the salary or job security that makes a city preferable for your job search. Often, such things as housing affordability and job satisfaction are just as important.
Online career community Glassdoor just released a report naming the top 25 cities for jobs based on what it believes are the three key factors in a city's appeal for job seekers: how easy it is to get a job, cost of living, and job satisfaction. It then created a job score determined by each city’s median pay for employees, median home value, job satisfaction rating, number of current job openings and population. Note that this report was based on a comparison of the 50 most populated U.S. metros, not every single city.
