forbes logo11Nashville has been voted the number two city in the country for best jobs in 2013 by Forbes magazine. Nashville trails just behind San Fransisco. According to Forbes, “You don’t have to be a huge tech hub or energy capital to generate new jobs. The No. 2-ranked place…reflects the power of economic diversity coupled with ample cultural amenities, pro-business policies and a mild climate.”

Forbes also noted, “Like the Texas cities [included on the list], Nashville has registered long-term growth as well, with 112,000 jobs added since 2001, a 16.6 percent increase.” Rankings are based on recent growth trends, mid-term growth, long-term growth and the region’s momentum. Forbes also broke down rankings by size since regional economies differ markedly due to scale.
