Job Search

State with most jobs
California, because there are many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) jobs in Los
Angeles, Santa Monica, and Silicon Valley.
Country with most jobs
United States, because demand for higher forms of technology for a higher standard of living is greater,
and the equipment capital in the U.S. is much greater than any other country. Although unskilled labor
has largely moved away to other countries such as China, professional labor still tends to be centered in
the United States.
