How this ranking is calculated
Cities are scored using official salary and income data from national statistics agencies (ONS, Destatis, INE, INSEE, CBS, Statistics Canada, ABS, OECD) combined with CityVerdict's cost-of-living and opportunity indices. The career ranking prioritises cities with strong job markets, salary upside, and economic opportunity.
