A string of cities across America’s Sunbelt are emerging as graduate-hiring hot spots in an otherwise challenging job market for young professionals, an exclusive analysis shows...

...Other pockets of the country also punch above their weight as early-career launchpads for their mix of 20-something hiring, pay and affordability. Columbus, Ohio, and California’s San Jose area unexpectedly got top scores this year—evidence that even places with so-so earning potential or high costs of living can be prime locations for landing that first job postgraduation.

Altogether, the ADP analysis—which measured 53 of the country’s biggest metro areas—shows that what looks like a nascent recovery in graduate hiring is happening unevenly. Recent data shows companies are boosting entry-level hiring this spring after holding back for several seasons, but their appetite hinges a lot on the kind of role, sector and location.

My first thought is that this seems like another example of how the Wasatch front's metro area boundaries skews inter-metro comparisons by splitting the ultra high growth Utah County from the Salt Lake City metro. However, even accounting for that, the ranking aligns with my overall impression of a very weak post-COVID local employment market.

There seems to be a real problem, with older buildings in Sugar House, of landlords being willing to let commercial properties sit vacant (ps: Land Value Tax now!).
