Four Great Cities for Travel Jobs -- On the Fourth!

You may recall that on July 2, 1776, Congress secretly voted for independence from Great Britain. Two days later, on July 4, 1776, the final wording of the Declaration of Independence was ratified, and the document was published. The official printer to Congress worked through the night to set the Declaration in type and print about 200 copies, which were sent out to designated committees and commanders of the continental troops

We hold these truths to be self-evident... 

Almost 250 years later, we're still marking the occasion, and there are some locations where it feels especially fitting to mark this moment in our nation's history.

Our top cities for allied health travel on Independence Day

1. How about allied travel jobs in Philadelphia?It took a couple weeks for the congressional delegates to get it together (doesn't it still?) but the Declaration of Independence was eventually signed at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, later to become known as Independence Hall. Philadelphia is lively town, home to several top universities -- and their associated medical facilities. You'll find the locals down-to-earth, friendly, and eager to tell you about their hometown's many virtues. If you love a busy, metropolitan work environment that will be an impressive add to your resume, Philadelphia travel could be perfect for you.
2. Then there's Boston. They don't call it 'The Cradle of Freedom' for nothing. The signers of the Declaration may have gathered in Philly, but much of the impetus and inspiration for the American Revolution came from Boston. They held a famous 'Tea Party' here, and many historians consider the siege of Boston to be the opening phase of the Revolutionary war. A center of academia and research, Boston is home to several of the top medical facilities in the world, and they are often in need of travelers.
3. Let's not forget Washington, DC allied travel . The nation's first President, George Washington, chose the exact site along the Potomac River where the city was officially founded in 1790. DC, as the locals call it, has a somewhat more laid-back quality than some of its East Coast neighbors, but a visit to the 'National Mall' will remind you of the significance of this capital city. Fourth of July events here are over-the-top. Ditch your car, and take the metro downtown. You are guaranteed a musical and pyrotechnic extravaganza!
4. New York NYC. New York city played an important role in early American history. The British occupied New York as early as 1776, but in 1783, American troops led by General Washington and Governor Clinton entered New York City and ended the occupation. The fireworks displays over the Hudson River are one for the record books. What a backdrop! You can also check out some historic taverns and inns that can rightfully claim "George Washington Slept Here". While working in NYC may not be for everyone, if it is, it is. This town is full of educational and stimulating healthcare settings, and a travel pay rate that is among the highest in the U.S.
