Lakeville is number six on the list. According to the description on the site, "the city's households earned a median income of $95,646 while the unemployment rate was just 4.4 percent."

The site also mentioned Lakeville's top employers, such as ConAgra Foods, and the presence of the Minnesota School of Business, which helps students and alumni look for jobs.
