Forbes.com slideshow: 20 best cities for working moms
"So how did New York, last year's No. 1 city for working mothers, get displaced by unassuming Minneapolis? This year we placed greater emphasis on women's earnings, which we think play a major role in the best cities for women to work and raise children.
And at only 216 crimes per 100,000 residents annually, Minneapolis has the lowest violent crime rate, which means there are fewer murders, rapes, robberies and assaults than any other major U.S. city, as well as the second-lowest unemployment rate at 6.4 percent."
Other Cities that top the list?
1.) Minneapolis, MN
2.) Washington, D.C.
3.) Boston, Mass
4.) Pittsburgh, PA
