Being home to the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus means more than a college-town culture in Madison. It also means our city is one of the U.S. metro areas with the most high-tech jobs. In June, Madison was ranked 5th among the Best U.S. Cities for High-Tech Jobs by MarketWatch.

In May, Madison became a three-time list topper—at least as far as Wisconsin Trails is concerned. In its "Wisconsin's 12 Best Towns" article, Madison was among the state's greatest in the categories of Best Green Town and Best Foodie Town, and runner-up in Best Arts & Entertainment town.
