Austin was ranked first in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 list of best cities, and a study released this week by WalletHub added to the accolades by ranking Austin the third-best metro for young professionals looking to start their careers. The report analyzed 150 of the largest U.S. metros using two factors—professional opportunity and quality of life. Austin ranked sixth in each area, giving it a combined score that was high enough to secure third place, preceded by Orlando, Florida, and Salt Lake City, Utah, which ranked first.
