A study by LinkedIn and Zillow ranks the best locations for maximizing job opportunities and take-home pay in three growing, white-collar industries: finance, tech, and healthcare. For tech workers, Austin, Texas; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Seattle offer the best balance between housing costs, income, and job opportunity. For those in the healthcare industry, Boston, Indianapolis, and Phoenix offer the best potential for living, working, and playing. The best bets for finance workers are Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; and Dallas. The rankings may change depending on whether the worker is a renter or a homeowner.
