Help Us Find a Safe, Job-Friendly US City to Call Home!

Looking to move into a new country next year and considering the US. Seeing as it is a massive country, and the knowledge which my husband and I have about the country is through movies and word of mouth. We would like to live in a safe city/ suburb with a good job market and hopefully affordable rent? (But we also understand rents are going crazy across the world.) I want to work in marketing, and my husband has a few years’ work experience under his belt in IT. Could anyone help us narrow down places to live in? We are moving from Germany.
