The metro Milwaukee area is one of the best places in the country for young people looking for a job, according to ADP Research.
ADP published a report titled “You’ve graduated. Now what?” using payroll data of more than 140,000 people age 20 to 29 at more than 27,000 employers in 55 metro areas with at least one million residents. ADP is the research arm of a human resources management software company.
The report ranked Milwaukee No. 2, behind Raleigh, N.C.
The report ranked the areas by annual wages, hiring rates and affordability. Milwaukee’s hiring rate increased from 2.3% to 3.7% “leaping over greater Baltimore, Maryland, and Austin, Texas,” the report said.
