Hi, What you really need to look at is the unemployment rate and the average income, with some adjustment for the cost of living. I think even if those balanced out, in the long run being a bigger city means you will have more opportunity for advancement, and if you need to change jobs, you may not have to move. I worked for a company that transferred me to Charleston, WV. I lost my job, looked around for about three days and started packing, there was no way to replace the job I had by staying in that area.
It is anecdotal, but a relative in an HR department had a job opening in a smaller city and gets 100+ applicants, and the same job posted in my area gets many fewer applicants with much lower experience levels.

It means more jobs and more people therefore more competition. That doesn't mean that you will have a harder time finding a job in a large city, unless there are fewer jobs than people looking for jobs. If the unemployment rate is high, you will have a harder time finding a job.

I don't think a Big City = More jobs. It just depends, yes it can mean more jobs for "skilled" people..
It would be more people , more competition and less jobs.

I grew up in a small town and then moved to the St. Louis area. From my experience, the job market in a city is bigger, but there are more people applying for those jobs, so there is more competition.
