“The college town of Providence, R.I. topped the list of cities with the highest percentage (52.2 percent) of candidates in the metro applying for jobs elsewhere,” the site said. “Specifically, this means that more than half of job seekers in Providence are applying to jobs in other areas.”
The percentage of job seekers in Cincinnati applying for jobs in others cities was 36.2 percent, according to Glassdoor. In Cleveland, that percentage was 35.3 percent. Columbus — home of course to Ohio’s biggest university, Ohio State University — the percentage was 41.4 percent.
One of the cities to which job-seekers in Cincinnati were most likely to apply, interestingly, is Dayton, according to the study.
In fact, among the top 10 job destinations for applicants in Cincinnati is Dayton, the study said, second only to New York City.
