Milwaukee has advanced two spots on MarketWatch's annual city rankings.
Milwaukee outpaced cities like St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Austin, Portland, Phoenix, Orlando and Los Angeles as it moved to No. 16 from No. 18 last year.
MarketWatch, the "leading online financial-news publisher" is part of the Wall Street Journal Digital Network.
In its Dec. 2 announcement, MarketWatch admitted that "Milwaukee wasn't the fastest-growing city, but it moved to No. 16 from No. 18 last year." Milwaukee moved up the largest number of places in population growth, rising five places.
Top-ranked Minneapolis-St. Paul and bottom-ranked New Orleans retained the same spots that they held last year, along with 10th-ranked San Francisco, 15th-ranked Atlanta, No. 34 Baltimore and No. 48 Tucson.
According MarketWatch, "the rankings are purely result-oriented and are based on available data in eight categories from various government agencies and financial organizations, as well as two business publications: Fortune and Forbes," with no subjective criteria such as quality of life being factored into the ranking.

Number 16 out of how many? I assume 50 but the article doesn't say that. A ranking is meaningless unless it is compared to the the total number ranked.
