Together the 25 cities boast 40,000 entry level job openings across 16 states. Entry-level openings in New York account for at least 3,600 jobs, while Houston has 2,500 openings.
Other cities on the list include Los Angeles at number three with more than 2,400 openings, and Boston at number four, finishing just behind Los Angeles and launching into the Top 5 Cities for the first time. Philadelphia rounded out the Top 5 with 2,100 entry level job openings, bringing the grand total of the top 5 cities to 13,100.
A recent CollegeGrad.com poll found that 85 percent of entry level job seekers would be open to relocating across the state, across the nation, or even internationally.
“The willingness to relocate shows a potential employer that you are a flexible and dedicated employee who has the maturity to manage and embrace change,” said Leslie Chappell, Director of University Relations for Lockheed Martin.
