No. It isn't a good city if you aren't going to be happy there. So if you want NYC, LA, Seattle or Nashville b/c of industry/preference...you should move there despite any dumb poll.
It depends on what career field your trying to go into. Like who would move to Hartford- New Haven to become an actor? Depending on what career field their trying to go into, this list could be ass backwards and the worst list ever.
Looks like a lot of the weight was thrown into the "cheap apartments" part of the equation. "Move here- No one else wants to!" And also, number of jobs stipulating less than one year of experience could well mean a fry cook in Cleveland. No thanks.
Don't underestimate Cleveland...Medical, Bio-Tech, and IT in Cleveland are booming: Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals-Case Medical, Bio-Enterprise, etc

Detroit has a high demand for engineers. I would recommend engineers to seek opportunities in Detroit. The low cost of living and high salaries make the best of both worlds.
It is interesting to compare this list with the map of CSA economic growth for 2010. Presumably a recent grad would be looking for a job and the best places to find jobs are where economies are growing the most. The only city in the top quintile for growth was Boston, in the next quintile were Minneapolis and Washington, the rest were all lower. Pittsburgh should be on this list.
Dunno why St. Louis is up there before NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, or Dallas...
And Cleveland is 2nd...?

As one of the top 10 cities for college grads????????? Maybe for someone who's 75 and looking to retire...but not college graduates.
