Which US cities are the hotspots for which industry

Rankings, costs, alumni networks, career services and salary increase are aspects that students need to look at when choosing the business schools they want to apply to. One major aspect, however, should also be to look which companies are hiring from which schools and if business schools have struck up interesting internships and connections with employers in their vicinity.

So knowing the hotspots for certain industries is therefore often an essential advantage.

New analysis from the Graduate Management Admission Council's annual mba.com Prospective Students Survey offers a view into different metro areas of the United States. It may be no surprise that San Jose, Austin, and Seattle turned out to be hot spots for aspiring MBAs or those seeking specialized masters in business for future work in the technology sector. Or that Houston has the highest percentage of business school candidates employed in the energy sector. More surprising, however, was that Miami showed up as a hotbed for prospective business students working in products and services, and that Boston and Philadelphia turned out to be centers of the healthcare industry. Consulting is big in Washington and San Francisco, New York City and Boston are the finance and accounting centers and Detroit is still way ahead in manufacturing. Government and non-profit jobs are apart from Washington mainly based in San Diego, whilst products and services are big in Miami, Minneapolis, Charlotte and St. Louis.
