A recent study by AfterCollege has revealed the top 20 cities where entry level jobs are available.

The cities with the most entry level jobs, in order, are:

• Chicago, IL
• Phoenix, AZ
• Indianapolis, IN
• New York, NY
• Atlanta, GA
• Philadelphia, PA
• Denver, CO
• Cincinnati, OH
• Orlando, FL
• Boston, MA
• Tampa, FL
• Charlotte, NC
• Columbus, OH
• San Diego, CA
• Nashville, TN
• Seattle, WA
• Louisville, KY
• Pittsburgh, PA
• Kansas City, MO
• San Francisco, CA

The study included a look at entry level jobs and internships available on AfterCollege and other career networks. Rankings were determined based on the number of unique employers posting opportunities in each city versus the number of opportunities posted per city.

Of all the available opportunities, sales jobs were the most abundant, followed by positions in healthcare, finance, customer service and information technology. Comparatively, a survey completed in April by AfterCollege found that about 80 percent of college students and recent graduates were having difficulty finding work.

“The current economic climate is creating challenges for college students and recent graduates who are looking for jobs, but there are opportunities out there,” Roberto Angulo, CEO of AfterCollege, said. “We encourage job seekers to be diligent in their search and to tap every resource at their disposal, including friends, family, faculty and classmates.”
