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

To compile the list, WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state.

“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.
