A picture worth a thousand words:

From indeed.com, a job search engine, comes this list of best and worst cities in which to find a job. The blue chairs represent job openings in a city. The orange men represent unemployed people. Washington, D.C. is a great place to start a job search, with six job openings posted for every one unemployed person. Jacksonville is the only other city with more job openings than unemployed. It only gets worse from there, bottoming out with Detroit, which has 18 unemployed workers for every job opening.
