The jobs website Juju.com releases a monthly Job Search Difficulty Index, which measures the difficulty of finding employment in
50 major cities around the country. The Index is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed workers in each metropolitan area, as reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, by the number of jobs in Juju's index of millions of
online jobs in the
United States. Here are the cities that, according to that formula, are the least difficult to find a job in.
