Job hunting this year? South Burlington is one of the best places to do it, according to a new study.

“It’s important to look at more than just the number of jobs available or the unemployment rate when determining the best place to find employment,” a WalletHub analyst said.
Here’s why South Burlington took one of the top spots.
