STUDY RANKS NYC AS WORST CITY TO START A CAREER A new study by WalletHub suggests first-time job hunters might want to reconsider moving to the big apple. FOX 5 NY's Sharon Crowley has more. NEW YORK CITY - Again!? NYC was ranked the worst place to start a career in 2024, according to a recent WalletHub study – following a similar ranking in 2023. JUMP TO: NYC RANKING l US MAP The website compared the relative market strength and overall livability of over 180 cities in the United States, examining each city based on 26 key metrics ranging from the availability of entry-level jobs to the average monthly starting salary to housing affordability. NEW YORK CITY RANKING * Total score: 33.14 * Professional opportunities rank: 182 * Quality of life rank: 171 The Big Apple also ranked last in entry-level jobs (per 100,000 working-age population). "Transitioning out of school and into the workforce can be a difficult and stressful process, but certain cities make things a lot easier than others," said WalletHub analyst Cassandra Happe. FOX 5 NY spoke with Barry Drexler, a career coach in New York City, last year. He disagreed with the findings in the 2023 study. "Very surprising to me that New York is ranked last," Drexler said. "I don't agree with it, and I'm speaking from someone whose office is currently in New York." Loading Video… This browser does not support the Video element. THE RISE OF 'FOREVER RENTERS' The dream of home ownership appears to be getting further and further out of reach for some Americans, creating a generation of what is known as 'forever renters.' However, he did agree with WalletHub's findings that it's expensive to live in NYC on a starting salary, but believed Gen Z could figure it out. "The recent grads, they share apartments," Drexler said. "They find a way at that age, they don't care as much about the trappings, so to speak." UNITED STATES MAP Atlanta ranked first, with a score of 65.84, followed by Orlando and Salt Lake City. "The best cities for starting a career not only have a lot of job opportunities but also provide substantial income growth potential and satisfying work conditions," Happe said.

Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Indeed, CashNetUSA found New York is "by far the worst state to look for a job" without a degree, with 21.94 local nondegree holders for every open position. Specifically, New York City was named the worst city in the nation for finding a job without a degree, with 41.48 nondegree holders for each available job. To see the full list, click HERE.
