Hunt Transport, the unemployment rate here is significantly lower than the national norm and the city has a healthy economy. It has been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the top five smaller towns to live and work in the country. A city truly dedicated to being “green”, Fayetteville created The Office of Sustainability, a rarity among small cities in the United States, in 2007 to partner with city divisions to promote and incorporate ecological practices into city projects and planning.

Transportation:Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport, located in nearby Bentonville, provides air service, and Razorback Transit is a free bus system for getting around town.
