(Newser) – Washington, DC is the easiest city in the country to land a job, says job-search site Juju.com, which ranked cities by comparing the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ figures on unemployed workers to the number of job postings on Juju itself. The site finds 1.87 “unemployed individuals per advertised job” in the District.

  1. San Jose, Calif.

  3. Boston, Mass.
  4. New York, NY
  5. Salt Lake City, Utah
  6. Hartford, Conn.
  7. Denver, Colo.
