The Young and Restless in a Knowledge Economy

Posted (admin) in Uncategorized on December-21-2005

CEOs for Cities recently released (Dec, 2005) a fantastic research paper on the Young and the Restless in a Knowledge Economy produced by Joe Cortright of Impresa Consulting. It details the 25-34 age group tendencies using US Census data to show MSAs that are attracting this segment of the population. The wealth of knowledge and data is too much to mention in one post, but if you are at all interested in the topic that this blog is about, then take a minute and review this paper. Unfortunately, Roanoke and Blacksburg MSA data is not included for comparison purposes.

In the meantime, I hope to have future posts that reference this report, which I feel is the best message by far at communicating the significance of this age group in regional economic development.
