Prague - Europe’s Top City for Jobs

Written by cd on October 6, 2007 – 3:36 pm -

According to European Commission’s latest poll, Prague, Copenhagen and Dublin are the top three European cities for finding jobs. I don’t know about the other nine cities, but I can vouch for Prague. I got recruited even before relocating here.

For some reason, Prague has become the emerging hot spot place to visit and live. Though Prague’s travel costs and living expenses have increased over the years, it is still the perfect compromise for those who wants a cultural center which they can afford. Prague has always been a historically and culturally important city in Europe, and  being a former Eastern Europe, it is somewhat cheap compared to Western European cities.

But hey, Prague isn’t going to be cheap forever nor it’s gonna wait for you. Come and visit the city before it turns into a ridiculous expensive tourist trap.

Top Cities for Finding Jobs

  1. Prague, Czech Republic
  2. Copenhagen, Denmark
  3. Dublin, Ireland
  4. Aalborg, Denmark
  5. Antwerp, Netherlands
  6. Cardiff, Wales
  7. Bratislava, Slovakia
  8. Amsterdam, Netherlands
  9. Manchester, England
  10. Rotterdam, Netherlands
