What cities are the most attractive places to large employers in the United States and what are those cities' quality of life for the people who live in them? Asking because I'm a person not a large employer so that's what I care about.

Pittsburgh's non-farm job growth was an anemic 1.8% in February 2023. One of the lowest rates in the country. Compared to other similarly sized cities, Nashville 4.5%. Austin 4.8%. Indianapolis 3.3%. Portland 2.9%. Charlotte 3.1%. Raleigh 3.9%. Seattle 3.7%. Jacksonville 5.6%...

Columbus was a surprisingly low .7%, but they also just landed the $20 billion Intel plant, so there's that.

Hilarious, downvoting actual stats from the US BLS. Pittsburgh's job growth rate is basically half the national average, and this sub thinks that's okay.
