Young and Educated
This information is available only for communities with a population over 65,000 people. The most mobile,
flexible, and talented workers are those people 25 to 34 years old that have a bachelor\'s degree or higher
according to Joseph Cortright of Impresa Consulting. The presence of these workers, who he calls the \'Young and Restless,\'
indicates the ability of an area to attract and retain the most talented and footloose workers that will aid the
future productivity of the community. These people are often educated, talented, and are more affordable to hire than
workers with more years of experience. While his research analyzed metropolitan areas, we use our analysis of all cities
and counties possessing over 65,000 people for the 25 to 35 year old age group.
