The Des Moines metro was named this week in three national Top 10 lists.
WalletHub ranked Des Moines the No. 2 Best City to Find a Job. They used 16 metrics to determine the best job markets, including job opportunities and employment growth.
Bankrate.com ranked Des Moines as the No. 5 Best City For Retirement. They credited Des Moines’ vibrant downtown and the Des Moines Farmers’ Market, as well as the region’s extensive bike, running and walking trail system.
And a study by ComputerTrainingSchools.com found that Des Moines is the No. 4 Best City For Tech Workers to Start Their Career. Des Moines’ high ranking was due in part to its low average commute time and the fact that it is an ideal location for data farms, the study said.
