I kinda hate curated charts. Because they want to drive home a point. They simply won't give you the whole list or whole chart. I'd like to have the option to just see the data and make sense of myself. They put so much emphasis on Nashville that you can't even see the #1/#2 city right next to it because it is not highlighted by the article- you can see it exist but there no way to know what city your looking at.
When I went to click the link at the top that I think might plainly lay out the data, its paywall.

I get the sense some cities were omitted too. Love the idea, just poor execution.
Suspicious list, Orlando at #7? They fail to mention what type of jobs are being added and can attest in Orlando most are part-time service sector jobs paying well below a living wage.
Whatt type of jobs? I have a graduate degree and think I am overqualified to work at whole foods.
Yeah that's why I don't really care for these sort of charts because it's too opaque. I haven't looked at the data in a while but pre-COVID the metro areas with the most professional jobs was NYC, SF, DC, Seattle, Chicago and Boston. List may look different post-COVID though.

Columbus is surprisingly low to me, though, especially compare to Indy.
DC is also low compare to NY, Boston, and Philly. But I guess DC at the end is still heavily government money.
