Madison is the nationâ??s seventh-best city when it comes to stable employment, new career opportunities and presence of the â??creative class,â? according to a new ranking by Kiplingerâ??s Personal Finance, a money management magazine.
The magazine cited Madisonâ??s unemployment rate, which is lower than the national average; UW-Madison and state government, which account for 20 percent of employment in the metropolitan area; and the cityâ??s â??strong mix of tech and biotech firms.â?
