Ever heard of St. George, Utah? How about Cleveland, Tennessee? And what do they have in common? They are on a list of smaller cities that promise growth in good jobs and a modest cost of living. Also on the list, Reno, Spokane, Savannah and Boise, among others. Kiplinger reports:
It’s been a slow climb back from the Great Recession for the nation’s major metropolitan areas. Yet job seekers often overlook the small and medium cities located near or relatively near the big hubs. As the big metro areas recover, these smaller “satellite” cities benefit from spreading regional business growth, while offering lower housing and commuter costs, putting less of a squeeze on employee salaries than more expensive, congested places a few hours away.
