Atlanta is so low because there are no jobs there for anyone with a college degree or not.

Jobs, nightlife, creative hub...
There's a lot going on here. It's an exciting time living here, watching this city grow and change.

Exaggerate much? I have a degree (working on a second) and have a job. Same is true for lots of other people I know.
The recession obviously negated a lot of the growth metro Atlanta experienced in the years prior and it hasn't fully recovered.

Not really surprised to see some of these cities listed as they are the latest "cool" place to be (Denver, Austin, Portland). How long will it be before most of those educated 25 to 34 yr olds figure out that these places are overrated and leave?
