PHOENIX — Three Valley cities were ranked among the top 10 best places in the country for jobs, according to a personal finance website.
WalletHub ranked Scottsdale as No. 1, while Chandler was No. 6 and Tempe was No. 8.
The website evaluated 182 cities — the 150 most populated in the U.S. plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across two dimensions: job market and socioeconomics.
Metrics included job opportunities, employment growth, monthly average starting salary, automation risk, median annual income and housing affordability.
