US News & World Report recently took a look at the best cities for job-seeking retirees and came up with a top ten list that’s sure to find some interest. As retirement accounts dwindle, the prospect of going back to work isn’t appealing but sometimes a necessary step. US News took a look at a bunch of factors including employment growth, the unemployment rate, the cost of housing, cost of living, and availability of high quality health care.
Here’s their list:
- Bellevue, Wash.
- Bismarck, N.D.
- Charleston, W.Va.
- Charlottesville, Va.
- Ithaca, N.Y.
- Huntsville, Ala.
- Lubbock, Texas
- Oklahoma City, Okla.
- Rochester, Minn.
- State College, Pa.
You can read their logic here but I was surprised to see so many college towns.
