cambridge-maFirst-time job seekers would be wise to consider San Jose, Calif., Cambridge, Mass., and Houston, Texas, among the nation’s best places to begin a career. These metros are home to America’s strongest big and small companies, and attract the country’s most talented professionals, based on Forbes Magazine’s analysis.

The Cambridge metro is much larger than you might expect. Also, since Forbes Magazine exclude Harvard graduates from counting toward either Cambridge or Boston’s young professional rankings, this city ranks only 22nd in that measure. Top scores of sixth for small companies and second for big companies’ concentrations help land it in this position. Two pharmaceutical companies helping to lead the way: Biogen and Genzyme.

Top 10 best places to begin a career:

  1. San Jose, Cali.
  2. Cambridge, Mass.
  3. Houston, Texas
  4. San Francisco, Calif.
  5. Washington, D.C.
  6. Boston, Mass.
  7. New York, NY
  8. Philadelphia, Pa.
  9. Minneapolis, Minn.
  10. Dallas, Texas
