Sugarland listed at #1 for "Best Places to Find a New Job" by Money Magazine

Money Magazine recently posted a list of 15 cities which are the “Best Places to Find a New Job” and Texas had 3 in the top 5 including Sugarland at the top spot.

Here’s what they had to say about Sugarland.

Life in Sugar Land is sweet indeed. Unemployment is a mere 4.2%, due not just to the town’s proximity to Houston, 20 miles northeast, but also to a vibrant local job market anchored by offices of Fluor and Schlumberger and the headquarters of Minute Maid and Fortune 500 company CVR Energy. When not in the office, the town’s mostly white-collar, mostly university-educated citizens head to the town square or local country clubs, enjoy three public libraries, take in minor league baseball games at a two-year-old stadium, and shop at nearby First Colony Mall.
