The 15 best states for finding a job in 2017

But your success also depends on where the best opportunities are.

According to a recent report from personal finance site WalletHub, landing a job is far easier in some states than in others.

WalletHub assigned each US state a score based on numerous factors, including median annual income adjusted for the cost of living, share of employees with private health insurance, and the number of workers living below the poverty line.

WalletHub also assigned each state an employment outlook score using Gallup's job creation index. The score is based on the amount workers say their place of employment is increasing or decreasing the size of its workforce, with the highest score of 42 indicating the best employment outlook.
