<p>As the United States recovered from the recession and began one
of its longest periods of economic growth, the unemployment rate
fell to 4.4%, nearly its lowest point in a decade and far less
than its peak of 10.0% in October 2009. One driver of economic
growth was the nation’s cities, which together added
approximately 83% of all U.S. jobs over the past five years.</p>
<p>High-density urban areas often act as engines of economic
activity and can increase productivity and spur job growth in
surrounding areas. Since 2009, employment in metropolitan areas
has grown at three times the rate in nonmetropolitan areas.
Cities added a total of 10.2 million of the 12.4 million jobs
the U.S. economy added as a whole over the past five years.</p>
<p>To determine the cities adding the most jobs in every state,
24/7 Wall St. reviewed employment growth in 398 metropolitan
areas over the past five years with data from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The cities adding the most jobs tended to have
strong employment growth in either the professional and business
services sector, the leisure and hospitality sector, or
construction.</p>
