Chandler has been named 2018's Best Place to Find a Job in a recent nationwide study from leading personal finance outlet WalletHub.com.

WalletHub's analysts compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 26 key indicators of job-market strength. Indicators range from job opportunities to employment growth to monthly average starting salary.

The new ranking reflects the continued growth of Chandler's economy over the past year, moving up from a ranking of 7th nationally in 2017. This year, Chandler ranked first among all cities surveyed in highest employment growth.

"2017 was a remarkable year for Chandler that included a number of high profile business locates and expansions," said Mayor Jay Tibshraeny. "These projects, along with growth among Chandler's small and mid-sized employers, will provide thousands of quality jobs in our community. We look forward to continued economic success throughout 2018 and beyond."
