Raleigh Among The Best Places For Military Retirees To Call Home

Once again Raleigh ranks among the top ten places for military retirees to work and call home. The USAA and Military.com sought the help of Sperling's Best Places to create the list of places where military retirees can live and launch their second career. It can be difficult for military men and women to transition to life after retiring from serving our country and this list is based on areas to work where jobs best suit their skill set.

The top 10 places were chosen based on:

●     Military skill related jobs
●     Unemployment rate
●     Number of federal government jobs
●     Volume of DoD contracts
●     Number of small business
●     Number of veteran-owned businesses
●     Military installation proximity/amenities
●     Affordability
●     Military pension taxation
●     Presence of colleges/universities
●     Sales tax
●     Climate
●     Crime level

Raleigh ranked 8th in the top 10 list this year. The number one city on the list goes to Oklahoma, OK followed by Norfolk, VA in second, and Richmond, VA third.
