The first covers factors such as unemployment rate, job security, job satisfaction, employee benefits, and average starting monthly salary. The latter includes everything from average annual income and housing affordability to family suitability and annual transportation costs.

To find out the best job markets in the United States, WalletHub looked at 182 cities, including 150 of the most populous cities in the country (along with the second-most populous city in each state).
