Austin to be 4th Hottest Job Market in 4 Years, Study Says

Austin will be the nation's fourth hottest job market in the next four years, according to an analysis commissioned by Business 2.0 magazine. Working with Global Insight, an econometrics firm, the magazine ranked 61 cities with more than 1 million people on such factors as the forecast growth rate in sectors that include the 10 highest-skilled occupational clusters, work force education levels and the proportion of knowledge workers in the local work force. The assumption is that the most skilled workers will benefit disproportionately as the economy rebounds. The top five cities on the list: Raleigh-Durham, N.C. ; San Jose, Calif.; Washington, Austin; and Atlanta. The article appears in the magazine's March issue.
