From odd sculptures to strange statues, cities love to erect unusual structures to show some local color. Here are a handful of our favorites from around the country.

The jobs website Juju.com releases a monthly Job Search Difficulty Index, which measures the difficulty of finding employment in 50 major cities around the country. The Index is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed workers in each metropolitan area, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the number of jobs in Juju's index of millions of online jobs in the United States. Here are the cities that, according to that formula, are the least difficult to find a job in.
