The pied piper
New York is hiring, if you're in the mind to fill the role of director of rodent mitigation. The Big Apple has a rat infestation problem, and the city's willing to pay well for a modern-day pied piper…or anyone sufficiently murine-adverse.
It is described as "a 24/7 job requiring stamina and stagecraft" for city residents with a "swashbuckling attitude, crafty humour [sic] and general aura of badassery".

Sounds fun. Until you think about it. Hnng.
But it seems NYC isn't the worst US city in the rodent league.
Ahead of the city that never sleeps in the ratty ratings is [sic] Boston and Philadelphia.

I really only added that to score points at the BBC editor's expense.
