The report’s authors say:

  • Known for its incredible history, there are several reasons why professionals in the city are some of the happiest.

    This could be down to its high employment rates, excellent transport connections and fantastic education.

    Indeed, The University of York became part of the Russell Group in 2012 and is now one of the leading universities in the world. In addition, top companies in the city include the likes of Network Rail, Aviva, Northern Rail and more!

The accolade follows York being named the best city to live in by the Sunday Times in 2018.

That same year it became the most summer-friendly city to visit in Britain.
