If you live in the Valley and you're having a tough time landing a job, you're not alone.
Six cities in the Central Valley made the list of the top 10 worst places in the country to look for work.
According to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau, Merced is the worst place in the country to find a job. Fresno is number two on that list.
Here is the list of the 10 cities:
1. Merced
2. Fresno
3. Modesto
4. Stockton
5. Visalia-Porterville
6. Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J.
7. Bakersfield-Delano
8. Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, N.C.
9. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario
