Excerpt from Forbes.com: Having trouble finding a job in, say, New York City or South Florida? You might give Madison, Wis., a try. It's got an unusually healthy outlook for job growth and a strikingly low unemployment rate--3.5% in October, when the national rate was 6.5%. That's why Madison tops Ajilon Professional Staffing's list of top 10 cities to find a job.
Another excerpt from Forbes.com: Madison has several things going for it. Not only is the University of Wisconsin a major employer, but the university's research arm, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, has been fueling growth in the biotech, health care and medical-devices industries. The foundation provides grants and helps scientists affiliated with the university to patent new discoveries. It has aided Madison in becoming a regional hub for those industries.
Cities also on the list:
Washington DC
Boston
Richmond
Milwaukee
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Seattle
Houston
Dallas

That's joke. Once, you've exhausted your unemployment claim, you don't count. This is why the rate was lower. What a way to manipulate the numbers.
