The job market has started to improve.  And with the huge numbers of people leaving their jobs last year, maybe you're back on the market looking for a job!

Finding a job anywhere isn't an east task, but WalletHub.com did a little digging for us!  They looked into how 2022 will be for those out there searching for a new career or looking to switch.

The online publication's Best Cities to Find a Job in the state of Georgia looked at a variety of metrics to determine where your best chances are.  They looked at job opportunities, unemployment rate, access to employee benefits and much more.
