PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you're job hunting in the new year, Pittsburgh is one of the best places to be, according to a new study.
WalletHub released its list of 2019's best cities for jobs on Thursday. They looked at 182 U.S. cities and compared them based on two key dimensions -- job market and socio-economics.
Pittsburgh landed the number 15 spot on the list overall.
The city came in second in the socio-economics category, which took into consideration factors like median annual income, average work and commute time, transit accessibility of workplace, housing affordability, family-friendliness, dating-friendliness and safety.
Burlington, Va., was the only city to beat Pittsburgh in the socio-economics ranking.
Pittsburgh ranked lower in the job market category, coming in 34th. That category compared job opportunities, employment growth, job satisfaction, monthly average starting salary and full-time employment.
WalletHub's top 5 cities for jobs in 2019 are as follows:
1. Scottsdale, Ariz.
2. Columbia, Md.
3. Orlando, Fla.
4. San Francisco
5. Colorado Springs, Colo.
