Useful, but falls short for surrounding areas of Los Angeles like Venice (neighborhood of LA) & Santa Monica (adjacent and much a part of LA). I imagine there are issues like this for other cities and regions too.

Quite the opposite, both Venice and Santa Monica had so many posts I decided to treat them as independent cities, e.g. http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/city/2015/4/Santa%20Monica http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/city/2015/4/Santa%20Mon...

  i believe its not its own city. 2 posts for venice should be part of los angeles. you can still have venice its own section if u want, but excluding it from los angeles doesn't make sense. what u have is too simplistic.

    I realize that you may be using a limited input device, but surely you can afford a few spare grams of pressure for the shift key, or y and o? Anyway, I can see what you mean re: Venice/LA (Venice is not its own city), but as someone who used to work in Santa Monica there was a time when the ONLY places I would consider were SM, Venice, and just maybe El Segundo (the beach bike path did make for an amazing commute). Having WeHo or Northridge jobs mixed in there could be a pain.

      having the problem of a few more posts to sift through is much better than the problem of missing something that might have been categorized as "Los Angeles" where the job is actually in venice or santa monica <- happens all the time. these things are just a starting point - further investigation on the company's site and actual location are always necessary.

  I would suggest having both a "top cities" list as well as a "top regions" list, which would have SoCal vs NorCal or some similar groupings of cities.

  As an LA-area resident, I definitely feel like an overall "Los Angeles" category is important. Santa Monica and Venice are LA; leaving them out is like leaving out Palo Alto or Mountain View from a "Silicon Valley" category.
