NerdWallet set about to identify the best cities for recent college graduates. Seattle, at #2 behind Washington DC, beat out San Francisco (#4), Austin (#5), Atlanta (#6), Raleigh (#7), Boston (#8), San Diego (#11), and San Jose (#13). New York didn’t make the top 20.
Admission: If we hadn’t ranked at the top, our reaction to this survey would have been “Who the hell is NerdWallet?” But since we did, check out the survey here!
