KC among the best cities to find a job

May 20, 2015  |  Bobby Burch

The City of Fountains is apparently overflowing with job opportunities.

Career data Glassdoor recently named Kansas City, Mo. as the No. 2 city to find employment. Kansas City currently has nearly 28,800 employment opportunities, a median base salary $46,000 and median home value of $138,500.

Glassdoor determined the final rankings by looking at hiring opportunity — the ratio of openings to the city’s population — the cost of living and job satisfaction. Satisfaction ratings were drawn from Glassdoor employer reviews during the last year, which includes a satisfaction scale of 1-5. Kansas City’s employment satisfaction was a 3.2 rating.

Kansas City was beat out by No. 1 Raleigh, N.C., and followed by No. 3 Oklahoma City.
