13 Cities You Might NOT Want to Move to After Graduation

Already putting your plans together for life after college graduation?
Which city have you always dreamed of living in?
Well, if it’s one of the 13 cities below, you might not want to move there unless you’ve landed a job there ahead of time.
According to this Daily Beast article, the September census illustrates what most of us probably already knew (and those on Occupy Wall Street are protesting…I think?): the outlook for unemployment does not look too good for America’s newest adult population.
But wait! There’s more!
There are certain places where recent grads have been hit even harder. These cities have the greatest rise in an educated yet unemployed population since 2008. Trying to start a booming career in one of these places could actually mean an endless job search and cutting your losses by taking a gig at the Dairy Queen.
Here are those cities:
1. Orlando, Fla.
Current unemployment, age 20-24: 23.7%
2. Seattle, Wash.
Current unemployment, age 20-24: 18.8%
3. Virginia Beach, Va.
Current unemployment, age 20-24: 12.7%
4. Birmingham, Ala.
Current unemployment, age 20-24: 24.1%
