Houston suburbs rated tops for job seekers

Houston Chronicle:
Financial website NerdWallet just released a list from the list factory of the 10 best Texas cities for job seekers, and two Houston suburbs made the cut, with League City taking the top spot. Sugar Land came in at number three.

The site ranked the Texas cities by their rate of growth, average salary, and employment numbers by using numbers pulled from the U.S. census to tell us where you should go in Texas to land a job.

NerdWallet recently singled out League City as a great place for young families to thrive. League City's location to the Gulf, home prices, and family-friendly entertainment options clinched it, coming in fourth on that list.

The site noted that Sugar Land has the highest median income in the top 10, at $50,598. The unemployment rate was 4.7% as of April 2013, according to NerdWallet.

If you like boating League City is right next to Clear Lake and its marinas with quick access to Galveston Bay.   Sugar Land has some of the most upscale neighborhoods in the Houston area and it is where many of the professional athletes buy homes.  That has to drive up the median income.  I am surprised that The Woodlands is not on the list.  It is a high growth area that has several oil company headquarters.

Here is another report that finds four Texas cities in the top 11 with Austin number one and Houston number three.
