The Best and Worst Cities for Jobs This Spring.Job News
Cities with colleges, military bases, and a wide range of industries have the strongest outlook for hiring in the second quarter of 2010, according to a recent survey from the employment-services firm Manpower. Anchorage, Alaska, and Burlington, Vt., tie for the top spot, with a net of 22 percent of surveyed employers there expecting to hire between April and June. The Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area of Texas, home to the massive Fort Hood army base, comes in a close second, with a net of 21 percent of surveyed employers looking to hire.
Overall, cities in the Northeast and the West have the best employment outlook through June, while cities in the Midwest expect a slight decrease in hiring. Manpower asked 18,000 public and private employers in 201 metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, "How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2010 as compared to the current quarter?" It then came up with a net employment outlook number for each area by subtracting the percentage of employers who expect to decrease employment from the percentage who expect to increase it. Nationwide, 16 percent of employers expect to add to their workforces and 8 percent to decrease them during the second quarter of 2010, for a net employment outlook of 8 percent.

Anchorage, Alaska
Out-of-the-way Anchorage, population 260,000, benefits from its role as a cargo hub for the rest of North America. Anchorage International Airport is one of the world`s largest "cargo through-put" airports, a refueling and cargo transfer stop for planes traveling between the Pacific Rim and North America. FedEx and United Parcel Service are major local employers; the airport accounts for 18,000 jobs.
The Alaska state government injects several hundred million dollars into the local economy every October, when it distributes a Permanent Fund check, drawn from oil and gas revenues, to residents who have lived there for a year or more. Last year`s check was for almost $1,200. The commerce hub of Alaska has seen an uptick in retail growth, according to Bill Popp, president and chief executive of the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation. Target, Kohl`s, and Walgreens all opened stores in Anchorage in the last 18 months, and the city has two large military bases, Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base.
Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas
The military fuels the local economy in the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area of Texas. Some 48,000 soldiers are stationed in Fort Hood. It`s the military base from which the most soldiers in the world are deployed, and it has a tremendous economic impact, generating $10.9 billion in annual revenue to the state and $7 billion to the Fort Hood region alone.
"Fort Hood affects almost all of our business in some form or fashion," says John Crutchfield, president of the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce. The area is home to no fewer than 240 defense contractors, from mom-and-pop janitorial services to Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. The military is building a new medical center that, when completed, will hire an additional 1,500 to 2,000. "Large contractors can access more government business if they partner with a small contractor," Crutchfield says. "Most of the small contractors are local people."
Burlington, Vermont
Burlington has been helped through the recession by the diversity of its economy. "When one market softens, something else picks up," says Tim Shea, vice president of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce. The city of 140,000 is home to three institutions of higher learning, the University of Vermont, Champlain College, and St. Michael`s College. A nearby IBM semiconductor facility employs 5,000 and is the 620,000-person state`s largest private employer.
Rounding out the top six are Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C. and Va.; Fort Collins-Loveland, Colo.; and Memphis Tenn.
Parts of California and Nevada fare badly
Many of the states with the worst employment outlooks for this spring, such as California and Nevada, are where the biggest real estate bubbles burst. In Merced, in California`s Central Valley, a net 7 percent of employers expect to let go of workers this spring. Agriculture drives the local economy there, and last year Merced lost 29 dairies. The city has a 19.8 percent unemployment rate, and the job losses have been compounded by the collapse of its real estate market.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, on the bottom
San Juan, Puerto Rico, has the worst employment outlook, with a net 8 percent of surveyed employers saying they expect to decrease staff between April and June. The territory already has an unemployment rate of 15 percent, and it has little industry; the federal and local governments are the largest employers, providing jobs to 30 percent of the workforce. The government laid off more than 2,400 workers in January alone and has plans to cut some 12,000 more.
