Lincoln On The Best Places To Start A Career List

By Steve King May 24, 2021 | 10:01 AM

When you are ready to take on the world and start a career, one of the most frustrating things is when people tell you that you can’t get a job in your chosen field, if you don’t have experience. But you can’t get experience, unless someone hires you for that job.

So what do you do?

Fake it ’til you make it? Or…move…

You could move to places like Salt Lake City, Orlando FL, Austin TX or Atlanta GA. Or you could stay right here in Lincoln.

Yes, our hometown is one of the Top 60 best places to start a career.

We are ranked #59 our of 182 cities.

One of the biggest reasons we are ranked so high is the Quality of Life has us at #15, though professional opportunities has us at 108…that has changed significantly in the past 6 months since this survey was done. Our unemployment level is now just under 3%.

Keep in mind, 2.8% sounds great on paper, but that means there is a lack of people to work. There are a TON of jobs, but not enough people to do the jobs.

So let’s relish the ranking with Wallethub.

Now get out there and kick your career in high gear with something you enjoy….especially, if you are bored with your current job.  Keep in mind, better jobs, usually mean better pay and who wouldn’t want that?
