Looking for the best place to launch your career? Consider Atlanta. It ranks No. 10 on Credit Sesame's list for best U.S. cities for recent college graduates to begin their careers.
The finance site identified the top 25 "18-hour" cities - cities offering a similar lifestyle to a major city like New York but without running 24/7 and without the higher costs. Then researchers factored in these five categories: median household income, median rent price, unemployment rate, average student-loan balance, and average credit-card balance.
The Peach City nabbed the tenth spot with a median household income of $46,439, a median rent price of $969 per month and a 12.9 percent unemployment rate.
According to the study, Atlanta is also one of the best places in the nation for someone to start a minority business or be hired by one.
Additionally, of all states, Georgia ranks 10 in the nation with 20.2 percent minority-owned businesses.
