If you are referring to grads of local universities, there is always a lot of churn. But recent statistics suggest that overall Pittsburgh's young adult population has become among the best-educated in the country.

To back up a point I suggested above, while health care and higher education are indeed big job fields here, so are professional, financial, and technical services:

Hard to believe a publication actually celebrates the young age of a mayor. I say the young age of the guy helped to craft one of the most listless, unproductive mayors in Pittsburgh history.A relic of the old guard, old party. Thank god for the foundations, not for profits and educational sector that provides the vast majority of Pittsburgh's positive news and growth.

Reading alot of the Comment of the section...Seems like alot of the Young Grad also agree with the assesment of the Burgh....maybe the burgh really is skewing toward the young more and more...

Since factor in the COL is important with a YOUNG GRAD....NY will be one of the worse places if you expect a decent Quality of Life and just being out of School...Not going to happen in NYC and its not easy getting High Paying Jobs in this city right out of college...Its always a real dog fight for the really good jobs here...for everyone 1 position there are thousand upon thousands of application and the interview processes will test you like no other. We're talking some times almost a 2 month interview process at some of the big corporate centers of NY...

Anything that gains you credability with the Huffington Post crowd is not good for you, or anyone anywhere.
