About Kentucky

Kentucky, “The Bluegrass State”, is often overlooked for its neighbors- Ohio and Tennessee. A savvy jobseeker will notice quickly that Kentucky has many of the amenities of these states (and more), with an affordable cost of living to boot. Several of Kentucky’s top cities, including Louisville and Lexington, are also college towns. This brings a stable economy, fantastic collegiate sports, and an educated, diverse population base to these charming Southern cities. While Kentucky is known for its horse racing and bourbon distilleries, the economy is actually much more diverse, with healthcare, education, auto manufacturing and transportation among the top industries. If you’re interested in the Midwestern charm of Ohio or gorgeous topography of Tennessee, you might want to take a look right in the middle at Kentucky!
