The job market is hot right now, and employees are in demand. So, if you’re looking for a new gig in Michigan, where is the best spot to look? A new study is out that has determined the best cities for jobs in Michigan, and two made the list.

WalletHub has put together a study on the best cities for jobs by comparing more than 180 U.S. cities across 31 key indicators of job-market strength. “They range from job opportunities to employment growth to monthly average starting salary,” according to the study.

“College graduates from the Class of 2022 should expect to see a big boost in hiring compared to the previous class, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers,” Wallethub states. “Employers plan to hire 26.6% more new graduates from the Class of 2022 than they did from the class of 2021.”

So, which Michigan cities are the best to find a new job? According to the study, Grand Rapids is the best place to find a job in Michigan, coming in at No. 92 in the U.S. on the list. Detroit is also on the list, coming in at No. 179. Those are the only two Michigan cities on the tally. Find the full study here.

We Love Michigan in the Winter:

Hot chocolate: Whether you like your hot chocolate with marshmallows or whipped cream (Marshmallows for me!), winter in Michigan is the perfect time to enjoy a nice, piping hot cup of hot cocoa. If that’s not your thing, coffee works, too!

Winter fun with friends: Sure, the southern U.S. states avoid freezing cold temperatures, but what’s the fun of a fire pit in 70-degree weather? When it’s cold out, fire up the fire pit and invite friends over for a special experience.

Watching wildlife: Michigan has some beautiful wildlife in the spring and summer months, but the state also offers a plethora of winter wildlife that’s fun to watch, from birds to deer.

Skiing, sledding and winter activities: As mentioned in the snow section of this post, if you love now, skiing and sledding, then Michigan is a great state to be in the winter. With so much of the white stuff, Michigan offers boundless opportunities to sled and ski all winter long.

Upper Peninsula fun: Plenty of people visit the Upper Peninsula during the warm months, but winter is also a great time to visit. You don’t have to fight the crowds, plus winter is extra beautiful Up North, thanks to all the fresh snow.

Watching winter sports: Can we say, “Hockey?!” Michiganders love their Michigan sports, and hockey is right up there. Let’s hope the Red Wings deliver this season.

Winter hiking: You never know what you’ll find during a Michigan winter hike. Perhaps some deer or a beautiful snow bank?
