Best Big Cities for Jobs

Forbes: Best Big Cities For Jobs

Among large cities, Seattle is one of the few fast-growing centers for information-sector employment.
From 2007 to 2008, the number of information jobs increased by 3.8% to 85,700, pushing it well ahead
of Atlanta's and Chicago's sagging numbers in the same sector. Like many other large
western cities, Seattle has seen increases in education and health services, too, though they are more
modest than the gains experienced in some of the large cities in Texas at the top of this list.
Between 2004 and 2007, Seattle employment increased 9.54%. But from 2007 to 2008, it lost 1.4%--
thanks in part to declining natural resources, mining and construction jobs (down 8.9%).
