The recent Forbes magazine declaration that New Orleans is the top "Brainpower City" in the United States because of growth in its number of college graduates has triggered another accolade from a national publication.
Drawing on the Forbes report, the IndustryWeek publication for the manufacturing business again listed New Orleans top among cities as a destination for college graduates.
IndustryWeek added, "Graduates can find jobs in a variety of areas as the city is investing $20 billion in six target sectors. Industries include three foundational sectors: Advanced Manufacturing Energy, International Trade and three diversifying sectors: Digital Media, BioSciences and Emerging Environmental."

What cities are college graduates calling home?
Recently Forbes announced it “Top Brainpower Cities.” To determine where college graduates are settling, demographer Wendell Cox analyzed the change in the number of holders of bachelor’s degrees and above between 2007 and 2012 in the 51 metropolitan statistical areas with over a million people (all saw gains).
At the top of the list was New Orleans.
“Greater New Orleans being named the #1 “Brainpower City” in the U.S is proof positive that our competitive business climate, unique culture, low costs, and focused leadership are attracting the best and brightest,” said Michael Hecht, CEO of Greater New Orleans, Inc. “Our region’s future for continuing to attract highly educated people looks bright with coming booms in energy, biosciences and digital media.”

I can see it being a more desired destination for young people.....but unfortunately a job like mine doesn't exist there and I don't have the local connections required in a place like that.
Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, or Chicago will probably be out next move away from here.
