Hot Cities with Cool Jobs

Eighty-five percent of recent college graduates, those labeled as Generation Y (which I admit to belong), said in a recent survey that they would pack up and move to a new city for a job.

Yahoo! has a long list of factors that inspire the moves – such as career opportunities, cost of living, and the city’s social scene. Here is the top five cities listed in the survey:

1: New York (12%)
2: Washington, D.C. (8%)
3: Chicago (8%)
4: San Francisco (7%)
5: (Tie) Seattle/Tacoma; Atlanta; Boston; Charlotte (5%)
