A recent study has found that New Jersey is one of the worst states for job hunting without a college degree. The study, conducted by Stacker, looked at the number of entry-level jobs advertised for high school graduates as the maximum educational level required in the 300 most populated cities in the U.S. and the top five most populated cities and urban areas in each U.S. state. They then calculated the local ratio of high school graduates per available entry-level job to rank the most and least competitive cities and states for job hunters without college degrees.
