Anyone who has ever found themselves in search of a job knows how difficult and time-consuming the experience can be. From a competitive market in certain cities to a lack of jobs in others, finding a job can sometimes feel impossible. Depending on where you live, you may have a better shot at landing a new opportunity for employment.

WalletHub looked at nearly 200 cities around the U.S. to determine which are the "best places to find a job" in 2025, factoring in how the job market is performing compared to other destinations as well as how the socio-economic status measures up. Among the list are four cities in Tennessee; however, the majority of them fall lower on the list as some of the worst in the country:

No. 84: Chattanooga
No. 102: Nashville
No. 118: Knoxville
No. 182: Memphis

Coming in at the very bottom of the list at No. 182, Memphis ranked near the bottom of the list thanks to its low marks in both the socio-economic and the job market categories. Additionally, Knoxville has among the lowest employment growth of the cities on the list.

These are the 10 best places to find a job in 2025:

Scottsdale, Arizona
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Columbia, Maryland
South Burlington, Vermont
Portland, Maine
Charleston, South Carolina
Chandler, Arizona
Washington, D.C.
Tempe, Arizona
Orlando, Florida

To determine its list, WalletHub compared 182 cities across the U.S. across two key factors, job market and socio-economics. These factors were then evaluated using 31 relevant metrics, including job opportunities, employment growth, unemployment rate, job security, industry variety, job satisfaction, access to internships, median annual income, transit score, housing affordability, safety, family-friendliness, annual transportation costs, dating-friendliness and more.
