The job market is hot right now, and employees are in demand. So, if you're looking for a new gig in Michigan, where is the best spot to look? A new study is out that has determined the best cities for jobs in Michigan, and two made the list.

WalletHub has put together a study on the best cities for jobs by comparing more than 180 U.S. cities across 31 key indicators of job-market strength. "They range from job opportunities to employment growth to monthly average starting salary," according to the study.

"College graduates from the Class of 2022 should expect to see a big boost in hiring compared to the previous class, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers," Wallethub states. "Employers plan to hire 26.6% more new graduates from the Class of 2022 than they did from the class of 2021."

So, which Michigan cities are the best to find a new job? According to the study, Grand Rapids is the best place to find a job in Michigan, coming in at No. 92 in the U.S. on the list. Detroit is also on the list, coming in at No. 179. Those are the only two Michigan cities on the tally. Find the full study here.
