So I got hooked on Mafia Wars. It’s a very very fun game for facebook and MySpace. Like any good RPG, the variables are complicated enough to prevent you from deducing the correct strategy immediatly. And, like any good marketing department they did their best to make each job not directly comparable to the others. So… I wanted to play around with a table sorting plugin for jQuery and made these tables that are sortable that allow you to easily compare different jobs. It allows you to choose whether your going for the most efficient payout, or the most efficient experience per job. Of course there are some additional variables I’m not including, but these two are nice to have.

P.S. Click the column headers to sort the jobs. And, I’d include more jobs, but I havn’t leveled very far yet. If you have this info for other jobs I don’t have listed, post them in a comment, and I’ll include them.

So here are the Best Mafia Wars Jobs… Using this list, you can pick the best Mafia Wars Job for your goal.
