Jul. 2--Rochester still qualifies as one of those job-creating types of towns, Forbes Magazine finds.

The magazine's annual list of Best Places for Business and Careers ranks Rochester 10th among the nation's small metropolitan areas.

Readers won't find that tidbit by flipping through the pages of the May 27 edition, where the 200 largest metro zones appear (San Jose, Calif., is No. 1.) They'll need to go online. The magazine placed its 96 Best Small Places on its Web site, www.forbes.com.

Although still in the top 10, Rochester was placed several rungs lower on the ladder than its third-place finish in 2001.
