Most Americans live in major metropolitan areas. The problem these days is to find an area that gives you a chance to get ahead. This important new book ranks the nation's 73 largest metro areas (all with populations of 500,000 or more) according to their economic advantages, from growth potential to business and real estate opportunities.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this well-researched reference work, the author ( The Rating Guide to Life in America's Small Cities , Prometheus, 1990) examines the country's major cities (over 500,000 population) and presents and interprets economic data that will be of interest to young people seeking job opportunities and growth potential, as well as to older readers looking for a good retirement locale. Six tests are used in rating: economic momentum, future growth, opportunities in both business and real estate, availability of jobs, and equal opportunity. The author provides a narrative for each city, lending some depth to the statistics, but scores the cities solely on the basis of economic statistics, ignoring life-style aspects. Highly recommmended for public library collections. For a more general review of U.S. cities see the review of America's Top Rated Cities on p. 70.--Ed.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great fresh insight for job seekers but getting dated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where to Make Money (Paperback)
As Thomas says in this book there are many reasons why a person would want to live in an area that is alive with opportunity. The attitude is different and half of making a successful career is being in the right place at the right time. This book demonstrates which areas will be better over the next 30 years. Honestly, I logged on to see if this book had been updated since statistics get pretty old in 5 years
