Urban areas with high demand for educated workers are the best bets for finding work.
The Brookings Institution, a prominent Washington, DC
think tank, has assembled extensive information on the
economic vitality of the nation's 100 largest
metropolitan areas, as well as data on the extent to
which these regional hubs are being powered by highly
educated workers.
Nationally, about 32 percent of the adult (25 and older)
populations of these areas hold at least a bachelor's
degree. Employers, however, want a much higher
percentage of their employees to have degrees. This
proves how much education will drive future U.S.
economic growth.
