The report ranks cities based on the priorities of 20- to 40-year-old workers in knowledge-based jobs, looking at criteria such as the cost of living; job opportunities; health and environment; culture and recreation; educational opportunities; “walkability” and transportation; and diversity and safety. The “Mighty Micros” list is topped by Fort Collins, Colo., followed by Charleston, S.C.; Eugene, Ore.; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Springfield, Ill.; Cary, N.C.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Pueblo, Colo; and Gainesville. Madison tops the list of “Midsize Magnets” and San Francisco the “Super Cities.” For details, visit nextgenerationconsulting.com. Next Generation recommends that companies locate in cities on the list to improve the odds of hiring great employees.
