We like to think of Fremont as a happy place.

And this news really makes us want to put our dancing shoes on.

According to a recent survey by CareerBliss, Fremont ranks in the Top 10 happiest mid-sized cities in America.

Now, you might be wondering how one measures happiness.

CareerBliss surveyed thousands of workers around the country, measuring various factors, including employees’ relationships with co-workers and bosses, work environment, job resources, compensation, company culture, and opportunities for growth.

The City of Fremont is proud to be home to more than 20,000 manufacturing jobs, 30 clean and green tech firms and 50 biotech and medical device companies. And with benefits like prime accessibility to BART, startup tax incentives, and a brand new Downtown, it’s no wonder our Fremont workforce has a little pep in their step. We’ve got a world-class workforce that’s not just successful, but also supremely happy – and that gives us a reason to smile.
