Here's one Forbes list no city wants to be on: a compilation of the worst places to find work this winter.
The magazine complied the list based on data from a survey conducted by the employment services firm Manpower. Showing just what the Malloy administration and the new legislature are up against, the Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford market is tied for 17th on the list of worst cities for jobs this winter.
The survey of 18,000 employers found that net employment in the region is expected to grow by a dismal 1 percent.
That's bad, but not nearly as bad as the employment outlook in Akron, Ohio, which has a net employment outlook of minus 3 percent.
