Omaha- Top 25 city with most satisfied workers

Post by Omaha Cowboy »

From the Economic Research area of Glassdoor- Omaha clocks in at 16th. Don’t know that I’m too thrilled with the short article minimizing Omaha in as a “smaller city” on the list with Ann Arbor MI and Provo UT (which Omaha is significantly larger than)- but in any case, interesting info..

“Part of loving where you work is loving where you live. While many employees are still working remotely, others are now back in the office full or part-time, making location a key factor in finding a satisfying job.

To determine which cities have the most satisfied workers, Glassdoor analyzed average ratings for workers by city and ranked the 25 cities in America with the most satisfied workers, with major metros like San Francisco, Washington D.C, and New York City making appearances, but also smaller cities such as Provo, UT, Ann Arbor, MI and Omaha, NE cracking the top 25.”..

An interesting list.

Omaha is probably for much of the country what Ogden is to me.

All I know of Ogden is that it is in Utah, and apparently those there like it.

Overall though, I think this list makes sense. SF, Austin, Omaha, Miami, MSP, Seattle, HNL, and NYC are all just amazing cities in their own rights.

Gainesville and Fayetteville surprise me though.

I hope no one thinks of us like Ogden. Ogden is the worst of the Utah range of cities

I'd love details on how / why there.

Just googled it. It appears to be a Suburb of SLC, with a slightly larger population than Bellevue here.

And it looks lively and decently dense. I wish Bellevue looked and felt half as nice and zooming around on Google Maps in Ogden did.

I currently live in a suburb of Ogden, which is not a suburb of SLC though it is part of the CSA. I used to live in downtown SLC. While my wife and I dont like Utah and will be moving back to DC soon, I would argue that Provo is the worst of the Utah rang cities.

Ogden has only one major freeway, I-15, that goes north/south. I have never seen a bus, let alone BRT. The Ogden metro is basically a collection of small towns that all grew together (and it definitely feels like a small town everywhere) but have their own mayor, city utilities, city councils, police and fire departments, etc. There isn't really any cohesion or effort to work together for development of any kind. The closer to SLC you get, the more urban it feels.

All I remember about Ogden is back when I used to mail my 1040EZ in for taxes (1990s) it was mailed to Ogden, UT. So, I'm guessing the IRS is one of the bigger employers there.

I feel like Ogden just has the least going for it of any of the big 3 cities. A close friend of mine went to BYU, and his family moved to North Ogden after our freshman year of college. I went to his graduation a few years ago and just found Ogden to be the least impressive. SLC has the urbanity, Provo has BYU, and Ogden has ????

Ogden doesn't really have much at all lol. But I have found people up here to be much more accepting than in Provo, though significantly less than in SLC.
