Indeed.com Names Duluth, MN Top City for Paycheck Stretching & Economic Growth Prospects
[Duluth, MN] - As reported today on public radio's Marketplace and CBS News, Indeed.com released a report entitled, "US Cities Where Salaries Go Furthest: 2018." Of 185 metro cities, the one that topped the list for stretching the buying power of a paycheck is Duluth, Minnesota.
A quote from the Indeed.com hiring lab blog reads, “If you want it all — high adjusted salaries, low unemployment today and good future prospects — look instead at Duluth, MN, Wilmington, NC, and Lubbock, TX.”

Duluth's Mayor Emily Larson says, “The rest of the country is catching on to what we’ve always known: Duluth is special. It’s our people, our sense of place, our purchasing power. Our grounded optimism. While it’s possible to live anywhere, Duluth is where you can have a great life.” Indeed.com wrote that cities on the list indicate where economic and job opportunities will likely be strongest going forward.
