Move here if you want to … find a new job.

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow professionally and be surrounded by new opportunities, you need to give Cleveland a second look.

Cleveland currently has plenty of job openings — in many fields but especially in healthcare, IT and manufacturing — and not enough qualified people to fill them. In fact, Livability recently highlighted Cleveland as one of the 10 Best Places for Job Seekers thanks to the combination of job openings, economic growth and low cost of living.

In addition to the job market, can we talk about how cool Cleveland has gotten in the past few years? The city has had a renaissance and transformed into a surprisingly hip, youthful and creative city brimming with an energy of newness and rejuvenation — perfect for anyone looking to tap into that energy in their own life.
