Minneapolis, Buffalo, N.Y., Oklahoma City and Rochester, N.Y., have made it through the great recession with the smallest unemployment increases.

A government report shows that the four cities have had the smallest increases in joblessness over the past two years among cities with at least 1 million people.

None of the four relies on heavy manufacturing industries, such as autos or steel, which have been hit hard by the downturn. And all have avoided the extremes of the housing boom and bust that devastated much of California, Florida and Nevada.
