The City of Dubuque has once again landed on a list of the best cities for recent college graduates.
Dubuque is ranked #16 overall in the new rankings, compiled by human resources software company Checkr. Among “small” cities with populations of 200,000 residents or fewer, Dubuque ranked tenth.
The ratings are based on several key factors related to employment, affordability, and social aspects. Iowa City is top ranked on the list.
Dubuque’s position in the overall ratings is higher than many regional cities including Omaha, Fargo, Sioux Falls, La Crosse, Ames, Indianapolis, and Green Bay.
Dubuque’s position in the survey matches its position in a similar survey by SmartAsset last year.
