找工作比较好的城市

The unemployment rate has been steadily improving for a few years now. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows an unemployment rate of 4.9 percent, a figure we haven't seen since 2008. Although there are still some concerns about whether or not pay is also on the rise, the job market seems to be improving – but not everywhere. When it comes to finding a job, some cities offer more opportunity than others.

失业率在近几年一直在平稳得到改善。美国劳动统计局的最新数据显示得失业率为4.9%，这是自2008年以来前所未有的数字。虽然对于是否涨工资还是有些犹豫，但是就业市场得到了改善——但并不是所有地方都有进步。当提到找工作的时候，一些城市的就业机会比其他城市要高。

The job market varies widely by region. To help us better understand this complex landscape, WalletHub recently released a report that examines the current employment picture for the 150 most populated cities in the U.S. They profiled the cities across 17 metrics, some weighted more heavily than others, to determine 2016's Best and Worst Cities to Find a Job.

就业市场的状况在各地的差别很大。为了帮助我们更好地了解这一复杂的局面，WalletHub最近发布了一则报告，报告分析了美国150个人口最多的城市的当前就业形势。他们将城市用17个标准进行衡量，有些城市的权重比其他城市要大很多，这样来判断2016年就业最好和最差的城市。

"Before doing this, we consulted a lot of other studies and surveys done around the same topic," said Jill Gonzalez, an analyst with WalletHub. "We really saw the prevalence on the job market itself (you know, this is a job study) more so than on socioeconomic environment. But, the two are not mutually exclusive. So we did feel like we had to include both of them, but give more of a weight to the job market."

WalletHub的一名分析师吉尔·冈萨雷斯说“在进行这一研究之前，我们查询了许多同一主题的其他研究和调查。我们实际上看到更多的市就业市场本身的普遍性(你知道，这是一项就业研究)而不是社会经济环境。但其实这两者是互相排斥的。所以我们其实感觉到我们应当研究两方面，但却给了就业市场更多权重。”

After all the data was compiled, all 150 cities were ranked in terms of the overall picture of their job markets. Let's take a closer look at one city that topped the list.

在所有数据完成之后，所有的150个城市根据他们的就业市场总体形势进行排名。让我们看一下排名最靠前的一个城市吧。

Plano, Texas.

德克萨斯州的普莱诺

When adjusted for cost of living, Plano, Texas has the second highest median annual income of all the cities surveyed. It also has the most affordable housing. These two factors are significant, and they combined to make Plano, Texas the best city to find a job in 2016.

用生活消费来评判，德克萨斯州的普莱诺在所有被调查的城市当中的年平均收入排名第二。而且它的住房价格是最经济的。这两个因素很重要，这两者结合起来就使得德克萨斯州的普莱诺成为了2016年找工作最好的城市。
