Want to put those skills you learned in the military to good use? Then your best bet for a job maybe Texas or Florida. A recent USAA and Hiring Our Heroes commissioned survey to find the places for veteran jobs listed three Texas cities and three in Florida among its top-10. And TAOnline has more than 2,800 jobs listed in these cities from employers looking to hire veterans.

The Sperling's BestPlaces list reviewed nearly 380 major U.S. metropolitan areas. Factors taken into account for this survey include:

  • Military skill-related jobs
  • Number of government jobs
  • Recent job growth
  • Presence of colleges/universities
  • Unemployment rate
  • Volume of DoD contracts
  • Health Resources
  • VA hospitals

Some cities were excluded for high unemployment rate, high cost of living and/or high violent crime rate.
