Experts reveal the city to be one of the best in New Jersey for a new career

If you asked a room full of people if they were unhappy with their jobs, chances are a little more than a third would raise their hands, according to The Conference Board’s Job Satisfaction Survey.

The survey looked at the state of New Jersey, but the entire country, and while the majority of people are generally satisfied with their current jobs, 37.3% are dissatisfied.

Much of this also stems from a recent trend known as “the great resignation” — more specifically, a group of people who have left their jobs to pursue new opportunities, only to realize they may have made a mistake.

Of course, they are not the only ones who are dissatisfied. Some of them may have been in a job for a long time and are tired or bored. It can happen to anyone.

But have you ever considered that moving to a new city might help put you on the path to a whole new career? Luckily, there are places like that all across the country.

Here are the top 50 cities in the country considered the best places to start your career, see if you can find one in New Jersey.

Are you looking to start a new career in New Jersey?

Have you seen where New Jersey sits on the list? One city in particular definitely made the list, but it didn’t make the top 50. In fact, the closest city to New Jersey in the top 50 above is Wilmington, Delaware.

Now, does that mean New Jerseyans need to flock to Delaware or anywhere else to start a new career? Not at all. But still, it’s disappointing that not a single place in the entire state of New Jersey made it to the top of the list.

So, the question arises: which New Jersey cities made the overall rankings? To find out, you’ll have to head north to Liberty State Park.
