Even though unemployment is down from frightening highs a few years ago, there are still 10 million unemployed in the United States. Consumer research group WalletHub released a report on the best and worst cities to find a job. The organization used 13 metrics to rank the 60 largest cities in the country. Here are a few highlights:

- Honolulu, New York City and Los Angeles were in the bottom five.
