Uh, these lists are so stupid.

I want it broken down by industry and I can care less about raw numbers since these metro areas have VASTLY different populations.

For example, if most of the new jobs in one of the cities are retail/service jobs then it does a clerical office worker no good!

Very true indeed... Some industries are highly concentrated to a few areas where they don't exist in others and it would be nice to see these as well.

Seattle has a lot of job openings...mostly in the IT industry. So if you don't have an IT specialized degree, it's just any other city to you. The non-IT, non-specialty jobs are extremely competitive because of a never-ending wave of millenials who think it's hip to live in Seattle. It's not shocking to meet minimum wage cashiers and baristas who have master's degrees.

you definitely have to take into the cost of living compared to pay when looking at some of those places. I agree it needs to be broken down by what type of jobs, I doubt orlando are the most high paying from my experience looking there for programming jobs
