The United States comes out on top for the best location for young professionals to live with a hotspot score of 6.66/10. The US ranked well for multiple factors, including job availability, activities for young professionals, and average annual income. Though, with good job prospects, plenty to do, and good pay, the US also has a relatively high cost of living index score.
Luxembourg is second on the list with a hotspot score of 6.42/10. Luxembourg ranked in the top three for job availability and had a top five ranking for their average annual salary. Furthermore, Luxembourg also has a large foreign population, meaning that many different languages are spoken. This makes Luxembourg a very culturally diverse country and potentially an easier transition.
Romania comes in third with an overall score of 6.08/10. The country boasts an even lower cost of living index than Portugal and a lower average rent cost for a city center apartment, at $354. However, the average annual salary was much lower and there is less job availability, per 100,000 compared to other locations.
