Congratulations, citizens of (mostly) random U.S. cities -- your homebase has been chosen as one of the Best Places to Find a Job!&lt;p&gt;  As per PayScale.com (and as reported on Money.com), the following towns -- all with unemployment levels well below the national average, and with firmly-rooted key industries -- stole the top spots.  And only two of them have populations that crack 600,000.&lt;p&gt;1. Boulder, Colorado&lt;br&gt;2. Madison, Wisconsin&lt;br&gt;3. D.C.&lt;br&gt;4. Salt Lake City&lt;br&gt;5. Lafayette, Louisiana&lt;br&gt;6. Huntsville, Alabama&lt;p&gt;The biggest common denominator is education; four of the six are somehow focal points for that community.  Both Boulder and Madison boast a significant biotech presence, and defense is a part of the local fabric in D.C. (naturally) and Huntsville.  But there&#39;s no overlap in the rest of the sectors that are propping up those places: For instance, it&#39;s oil and gas in Lafayette, but tourism and transportation provide the assist in Salt Lake.  (PayScale.com lists three top industry segments for each location.)&lt;p&gt;If you live in or near one of the lucky towns -- get cracking!  And if you&#39;re not, one of &#39;ems probably within an easy 1,000 mile drive or so. (And by all means stay away from Michigan and Oregon, which have the highest unemployment rates in the country: 12.6% and 12.1%, respectively.)  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault News &amp; Commentary&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
