" Career site Glassdoor.com just released its second annual Employment Satisfaction Report Card. To find these rankings, the site polled local workers and looked at compensation and benefits, possible career opportunities, business outlook, and the number of employers hiring in the area. Then, they ranked these attributes on a five-point scale: 1.0 meant employees were very dissatisfied, 3.0 meant just &amp;quot;OK,&amp;quot; and 5.0 meant employees were very satisfied. The winner? San Jose, California \u2014 for a second year in a row \u2014 came in at an overall 3.5 ranking. But remember this was out of a possible 5 points. So we have to wonder: Does this mean even the most satisfied workers really aren&amp;#039;t all that satisfied?  Here are the top 10 cities and their overall scores: 1. San Jose, California: 3.5 2. San Francisco, California: 3.4 3. Washington, D.C.: 3.4 4. Norfolk, Virginia: 3.4 5. Salt Lake City, Utah: 3.4 6. San Diego, California: 3.3 7. Seattle, Washington: 3.3 8. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: 3.3 9. San Antonia, Texas: 3.3 10. Austin, Texas: 3.3 They&amp;#039;re all pretty close! In some cases, some cities scored better in certain attributes. For example, Salt Lake City, which ranked fifth overall, came in number one in employee optimism. Local workers brag about having jobs with a healthy work-life balance, reasonable hours, and the ability to take advantage of the outdoors. That said, all of the top 50 cities seemed to pull in solid 3&amp;#039;s, meaning no one place really won for everything. Visit Glassdoor.com for the complete rankings.
