Looking for a job? New Hampshire is your #1 option

Layoffs and job changes happen often.  Employment loyalty seems to be waning for both the employer and the employee.

Ideally, finding a job you love in a productive and positive environment seems unrealistic, but many job seekers do succeed in finding that type of employment.

The first step is finding a state or region that is stable and competitive with jobs and recruitment.  While nothing is impossible, there are some states far better than others to find opportunities.

Where are the best states to find a job?

WalletHub.com has released its list of the best states to find a job, and New Hampshire ranks No. 1.  In fact, five of the six New England states ranked in the top eight best states for employment.

This is important to know because this information extrapolates into a great place to raise a family and find support for working families.

Nevertheless, finding the right job in the right place is hard work, which is why WalletHub created this new report.

The parameters were based on 34 key indicators for job market strength and economic health. Growth within the markets, median annual income and commute time were all part of the considerations.

Chip Lupo, WalletHub Analyst, says,

Living in one of the best states for jobs can provide stable conditions for the long-term, helping you ride out the fluctuations that the economy will experience in the future. The best states for jobs make it easier for residents to find and retain jobs, and employers in these states also offer very competitive compensation and benefits. In addition, the top states are great places for people looking to raise a family, ranking among the best states for working parents.

There are so many great quality-of-life standards in New Hampshire, and finding the right employment is definitely one of them.

What states were in the top 10?

Besides New Hampshire, these states ranked in WalletHub's list:

2. Vermont
3. Minnesota
4. Massachusetts
5. North Dakota
6. Virginia
7. Maine
8. Rhode Island
9.South Dakota
10. Maryland

What does that mean for you? Well if you're already a resident here in New England, you're in a great spot to find a job. If you're from outside the region though, maybe it's time to look at real estate and consider moving up here for new opportunities!
