It seems reasonable to me that the relative ease of finding professional, career building jobs does not necessarily coincide with unemployment rates. Do you agree with this list ranking the top 50 metropolitan areas in the US according to "Unemployed per Job Posting"? If not, what would be your ranking of the top cities for someone looking for a job? Anyone know of any career field-specific job market rankings? (my field is accounting, but we could broaden this discussion to other fields as well)

I don't agree with this list whatsoever, Los Angeles and Miami behind Detroit? I mean I know those areas took a massive hit, but I don't think it could've gotten that bad in 2 years, WTH is up with the guy making this list... Chicago ranked that low while Baltimore is ranked that high (3rd)? Riverside ahead of Detroit?
This must be for competition of applicants per job. I don't believe this is for inner city applicants only, maybe some who apply to other cities from across the country, I will believe that, but not from the locals. I mean there has to be a misunderstanding, or perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here.
I doubt it, LA and Miami to my knowledge have never been lower than Detroit... especially not back in 2000.
I am not talking about the rankings, I am talking about the actual 50 MSAs used for this list. It's not the latest top 50 in size. I was looking for where Raleigh stacked up but didn't find it though it's currently in the top 50 MSAs by population.
