Maybe you’re getting that employment “snake itch.” You know, when you start feeling like the time is approaching to shed your current employment “skin” for a brand spanking new job! I have important info for you, you slithery snake! (And I mean that adorningly, obviously.) A new study just came out listing off all the cities in the US where it basically sucks the most to try to find a new job right now. New England Top 3 Worst to follow below.

WalletHub released the study, entitled “The 50 Worst US Cities for Finding a Job.” The good news? New England only has 3 entries on the list! The bad news? New England has 3 entries on the list of suckiest job markets so if you live in any of these 3 cities and are looking to change careers, this isn’t the happiest of news. BUT… believe in your worth and keep pushing no matter what the study of the day tells you. You got this!

The worst city in America to try to find a job in right now is Newark, New Jersey. It topped the list, followed by Las Cruces, New Mexico and Gulfport, Mississippi.
