I telecom infrastructure mapping. Most of the companies who we map for have their IT headquarters in Dallas or Denver.

What cities dominate the type of work you do?

Well, here is the official way to find that out: OES Chart

For me, I am in the "accountants and auditors" field. So for me, the larger cities that dominate my field would be Denver, Washington, Boston and New York. I wouldn't want to live in any of those places though.

That's a very interesting chart - thank you for posting. While it doesn't give absolute numbers (which are probably more relevant in this question), it is really not hard to connect the dots and figure it out. Here's to data!

I have jobs/businesses in three industries.

#1) Top US cities in order (imo):
NYC
Chicago
Philadelphia
LA
Boston

Aside from NYC, the rest of these are a tossup.

#2) Top cities in US imo:
LA
NYC
Nashville
Austin

This ranking, though debatable, is fairly agreed upon.

#3) Top areas:
FL in general
AZ in general
TX in general

It's hard to give a ranking of cities, although Jacksonville is definitely one of the best cities right now

I'm the head chef of an upscale restaurant. Pretty much any city with a metro population over 2 million works. From a cost of living standpoint the upper level mid majors are better than NY or SF. You can afford to live but you can still do interesting cooking.

In health care, any big city will do. Most all of them have medical/dental/nursing schools and the like.
