Forbes.com has released its list of the 10 best cities to look for work in 2009, and Madison tops the list.
The publication looked at big employers in Madison, like the University of Wisconsin-Madison and jobs in the biotech and health care sector.
That’s good news for the University Research Park, where several companies are hiring despite a sluggish economy.
“The Research Park is doing very well. We’re growing. Our companies here in the park generally rely on the technologies that are spun out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus,” said Mark Bugher, director of University Research Park.
The University Research Park on the West Side has 115 mainly biotech companies and 4,000 employees.
