Seattle’s Employment Picture Improving
August 18th, 2009Posted by Jim Reppond
Yes, Seattle is having some employment improvements and it shows. Being 13th on this list by Indeed.com is pretty good, when you consider the alternatives. That means there is currently 1 job for every 3 unemployed people. We were one of the last cities to see improvement in our unemployment statistics in the last recession. So I would expect to see us to continue to climb up this list as the economy improves. Washington CD seems to be a boom town, though. With all the federal government spending I’m not really surprised.
