Baton Rouge: Top City for Young Workers


Finally some GREAT news for Baton Rouge!

Portfolio.com studied nearly 70 metropolitan areas across the U.S. looking for qualities that would appeal to workers in the 20s and early 30s. And making the top ten is Baton Rouge!

The study looked at places with strong growth rates, moderate costs of living and areas with the most educated young adults employed.

Portfolio.com called Baton Rouge a "success story" of Hurricane Katrina, adding that the Red Stick "boasts a high concentration of young adults and a strong rate of income growth."

Not surprisingly, Austin, TX came in at number one. But I'm proud of Baton Rouge for making the top ten list for something positive!! I guess the only thing better would be making Letterman's Top Ten list ... I'll write a letter to WorldWide Pants!
  1. Austin, TX
  2. Washington, D.C.
  3. Raleigh, NC
  4. Boston, MA
  5. Houston, TX
  6. Oklahoma City, OK
  7. Dallas-Fort Worth
  8. Tulsa, OK
  9. Seattle, WA
  10. BATON ROUGE
