DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL — The Denver metro ranks No. 12 on Forbes’ 2018 list of the best cities for jobs.
The Mile High City posted 2.3 percent growth with 1.47 million jobs in 2017.
For the second year, Dallas claims the top spot after it dethroned San Francisco in 2016. Its two-year reign stems from consistent job growth over the past several years, Forbes reported. Dallas is leading what Forbes dubbed the “surging south,” as many of the list’s top spots went to southern cities. Austin ranked second, while Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, Tennessee; Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, North Carolina-South Carolina; Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Florida; and Raleigh, North Carolina, took third, fifth, sixth and seventh on the list, respectively.
While Dallas beat out Silicon Valley and other California cities that traditionally top Forbes’ list, a few still made the top 10. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara took fourth, with 3-percent job growth last year.
