Ready to take that walk into the real world later this month?  You might want to stick around The City of Brotherly Love as it was just named the best city for new grads by Careerbuilder.

Of course, no positive article about Philly can be written without an asinine comparison to New York:

“Philadelphia is pretty livable for people my age,” says Hyde, a Florida native who moved to the city at 22 after completing his undergrad degree in Pittsburgh. “It’s a lifestyle like New York’s, but much more affordable. People here can bunk up together like in Brooklyn if they want, but real estate is a lot less expensive than in New York.”

And even if that whole “jobs” thing isn’t enough, our young sports teams, the Sixers and the Flyers, are in the playoffs.  Philadelphia also has some of the cheapest rent prices around, and has been pretty immune to that pesky subprime thing.
