Money Magazine Names Carmel #1 Place to Launch a Career
Money Magazine has named Carmel the #1 Place to Launch a Career. This is after analyzing 2,400 cities and towns among their Best Place to Live database. They were looking for the “best blend of affordability and strong economic performance.”
“We are excited that Money saw the value of Carmel’s combination of amenities, safety, diversity and unemployment rates. It is especially satisfying that they recognized the potential for future job growth and economic opportunity here. Being recognized on these types of lists helps keep out city among those considered by potential businesses and residents,” said Mayor Jim Brainard.
Money pointed to many factors that put Carmel on the top of the list including our thriving economy with large corporate headquarters and our growing mix of entertainment options.
