The Next Youth Magnet Cities (Washington #1)

 If you were a recent college graduate in a recovering economy launching a career, looking for a mate or both, where would you choose to live?Predicting cities that will emerge as post-recession meccas for the young is easy to argue about, but impossible to forecast empirically. Whether you prefer hip, casual Austin, Texas, over the cosmopolitan allure of New York City is partly a matter of personal taste. Still, we asked six experts which 10 cities will emerge as the hottest, hippest destinations for highly mobile, educated workers in their 20s when the U.S. economy gets moving again. Our panelists–demographers, economists, geographers and authors on urban issues–picked their cities based on the criteria they deem most important, from economic diversity to lifestyle.
