Indeed Ranks the Most Crowded Job Markets [Job Search]: "



Indeed, a Hive Five winner for best online job search site, posts a ranked list of U.S. cities, showing off the ratio of unemployed folks in a city to the job listings Indeed can find for it.

It's far from scientific, as both Indeed is not the absolute standard for job finding, and not every unemployed person is hunting for jobs in that city. But it is intriguing data porn—and thoroughly disheartening for those living in California or, like certain Lifehacker editors, upstate New York. If you're hunting for a job, this list won't preclude you from landing a great gig in any of these cities, but it might help you prioritize where you spend your energies.

In the end, I only took off 2 days for traveling purposes and otherwise worked full days from my parents’ house, basically paying for my...

They’re running a playbook that stopped working five years ago and are too proud, too tired, or too confused to admit it. You don’t need a life coach, a ten-step funnel, or a self-help seminar in Bali. You need a journal and the guts to ask yourself a few questions that might sting a little. The problem isn’t your schedule, your boss, or the market. The problem is you’ve stopped listening to yourself and started performing for everyone else. You’re on autopilot trying to earn validation from people who are just as lost as you are. So here’s a thought: what if you paused long enough to notice what’s working and what’s not?
