OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - The city of Omaha has been named one of the best places to live and work in 2020 by Zippia.com.

The website pointed out Omaha's cost of living, job market and safety as its stronger points.

"Despite Warren Buffet and other elite calling Omaha home, the city remains shockingly affordable," the article read. "Omaha has bottom of the barrel unemployment, paired with a low cost of living (even when compared to its Midwestern neighbors), and safety that makes it an ideal location for young professionals and young families seeking city living- but at a price they can actually afford."
