Real Estate Agent with Southern Classic Realtors Atlanta Area Realtor

Houston is among the nation's highest-paying cities after accounting for Cost of Living adjustmentsEvery city in America is its own micro-economy.  Jobs pay differently from place-to-place and the Cost of Living varies, too. 

Knowing that, Business Week followed a simple, three-step methodology to determine the "Best And Worst Cities For Your Job".

  1. Choose 20 common professions for Americans
  2. Research what the professions pay in each of the 25 largest metropolitans areas in the country
  3. Adjust the salaries for each area's unique Cost of Living

The complete survey features popular jobs such as financial analyst, human resources manager, and legal assistant

Not surprisingly, cities such as Houston, where housing is affordable, topped many of the professions.  Manhattan dwelled near the bottom.
