Charlotte has landed at No. 9 on a new list of best cities to start a career in. Wallethub, a personal finance social network, released the list today. Wallethub analyzed 150 cities to come up with the list, studying everything from entry-level pay and job opportunities to "mating opportunities" -- i.e., the share of the population that has never been married. Charlotte ranked No. 7 in quality-of-life factors, No. 63 in professional opportunity factors, and came in at No. 9 overall, just below Dallas and above Houston.
Here's the top 10:
- Washington, D.C.
- Denver, CO.
- Irving, TX.
- Seattle, WA
- Minneapolis, MN
- San Francisco, CA
- Austin, TX
- Dallas, TX
- Charlotte, NC
- Houston, TX

Eric,
Very true, Look at the exodus of new teachers from North Carolina after one year. Look at the number of Teach for America members after three months. North Carolina has placed a sign to the future worldwide and an empty promise from the governor today only makes it worse.
psst when jobs get better, teacher pay can too. It takes taxpayer dollars.

Haaaaa good "mating opportunities"? Yeah right. Find someone decent to date in Charlotte is almost impossible.
So Irving, Texas (four cities in Texas? Really?) is a top-ten place to start a career, but New York City isn't? Boston? Chicago? Atlanta?
