Summer jobs
Summer isn’t just a season of daily walks on the beach or picnics at the park. For some people, especially young adults, the warmer months are a time to gain extra spending power and work experience. But whether you need or want a summer job, where you look for one will matter almost as much as what you do. Opportunities will be more widely available in some places than in others. And while a job may pay well in one city, the same position may not pay as much in another, where the standard of living is much higher. Minimum-wage laws and local costs, for instance, will determine how much you earn and what you’ll be able to afford in terms of housing, transportation and social activities. More importantly, if you’re supporting yourself, location will dictate how much of your income you’ll be able to save if that’s your goal. With summer-job seekers in mind, WalletHub’s analysts compared the relative strength of the 150 largest markets in the U.S. across 21 key indicators of employment outlook, affordability and downtime-friendliness. The study found that Nashville ranks as the 9th. best community for a summer job. Chatanooga ranks 31st.and Memphis 123rd.
