This month, ForbesWoman, a special section within Forbes magazine, launched its first annual list of Best Cities for Working Mothers. It noted that while all moms want a safe place for their children to live, top medical care facilities and excellent schools, working moms also have other important considerations. Among them: job opportunities, the potential for relatively high income, a family-friendly cost of living, and good childcare. The magazine discovered that some big cities that seemed logical places to raise a famiy for other reasons, offered comparatively fewer child care options for moms who work.
The top 10 cities for working moms are, in order: New York Metro, Austin, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Milwaukee, Portland, Cincinnati, San Jose, Pittsburgh, Seattle-Tacoma and Denver.
Where would your city rank on the list? And what would be your most important criteria for selecting a new place to live?
