Here are the cities where college graduates have the best chance of landing a job — and NYC is not one of them
You're hired. These days, Gen Z has more demands — beyond salary and health insurance — than other generations when it comes to finding a job after graduating from college. And there are certain cities, aside from major ones like NYC and Los Angeles, where they're surprisingly finding jobs that meet their long list of requirements. It's a tough market for college graduates right now. PBXStudio – Second-tier cities like Raleigh, North Carolina, Birmingham, Alabama, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Baltimore, Maryland and Austin, Texas, stand out for what they can offer recent college grads — a strong job market and a decent salary, according to a new study by ADP. Raleigh, North Carolina, topped the list of where college grads have the best chance of getting hired. Getty Images To come up with these findings, ADP analyzed payroll data of over 140,000 employees aged 20-29 from January 2019 through April 2025. The team then looked at the annual wages, hiring rates and affordability of 55 different metro areas throughout the U.S. The study's findings showed that these underrated cities have a higher-than-usual concentration of technology, health and financial firms, says Ben Hanowell, ADP Research's director of people analytics. And for those youngsters who don't live in one of these cities — nor plan to move there, experts feel that in order to stand out amongst the rest when applying for jobs — Gen Z should learn how to use AI to their advantage. 'AI is rapidly reshaping entry-level jobs, automating repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, and, in some cases, eliminating roles entirely,' Keri Mesropov, founder of Spring Talent Development, told Newsweek. On that note, Gen Zers are being told to adapt to using AI technology since it's becoming a powerful tool being used in not only everyday work — but also everyday life. In addition to trying to adapt to using new technology to land a job — the generation born between 1997 and 2012 is leading the way in exaggerating or lying on their job applications. Career services platform, found that almost half of Gen Zers have admitted to fibbing to get employers to notice them. Millennials aren't totally innocent, as 38.5% of them have done this, while 20.4% of Gen Xers have also followed suit. 'You hear so much of people complaining about this big resume hole their applications have fallen into, and it's out of sheer desperation that they're trying to enhance their experience in a way that will hopefully land them at least that interview,' certified professional career coach, Amanda Augustine, told Fox News Digital.

Gold Eases After Three-Day Rally Ahead of Fed-Watched Jobs Data
(Bloomberg) -- Gold eased after a three-day gain, before pivotal US jobs data due later Thursday that may shape the outlook for the Federal Reserve's monetary easing path. Bullion traded near $3,345 an ounce after gaining more than 2% earlier this week, as markets shifted focus to the incoming payrolls report that's forecast to show 106,000 jobs were added to the economy in June, which would mark the fewest in four months. Separate data from ADP Research on Wednesday showed employment at US companies fell for the first time in over two years, prompting traders to boost bets on at least two rate cuts before 2026. A pronounced deterioration in the labor market could pressure officials to cut interest rates as early as this month, even as Fed Chair Jerome Powell has highlighted labor market resilience and underscored a 'wait-and-see' approach to assess the impact of tariffs on inflation. Lower borrowing costs tend to benefit gold, as it doesn't pay interest. Gold is up by more than a quarter this year, trading around $150 short of a record set in April. The precious metal has been bolstered by demand for havens as investors grapple with heightened geopolitical and trade tensions. The rally has also been supported by robust central-bank purchases, as well as inflows into bullion-backed exchange-traded funds. Meanwhile, there are lingering concerns about the US deficit, with President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill expected to add an estimated $3.4 trillion to the nation's debt over a decade. Should the legislation before the House be approved, gold's haven appeal could be boosted. Investors also continued to monitor progress in US trade negotiations, after Trump said he reached a deal with Vietnam. As his July 9 deadline for higher tariffs approaches, there are signs investors are becoming increasingly less worried by the president's unpredictable stance on levies given the economy appears resilient for now. Spot gold was down 0.4% to $3,345.86 an ounce as of 8:28 a.m. in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was flat, down 0.6% so far this week. Silver, palladium and platinum all fell.
