Trenton in the "Top 10" of Best Cities for Generation Y's

Where you live is among the most important decisions you’ll ever make argues Richard Florida, author of Who’s Your City?. Young singles between the ages of 20 and 29 are looking for a few key ingredients: cities with diverse job opportunities, an abundance of potential life partners, and many universities. Richard Florida and Kevin Stolarick at the Martin Prosperity Institute developed a "Top 10 Hot Cities for Generation Y" and Trenton made the list! The rankings are based on more than thirty weighted variables in five categories: the share of a population at the young and single life stage, economic strength; education levels and safety; economic growth; and local amenities. The ranking was prepared as part of a special report, "Generation Y's First Recession" for BusinessWeek. To read the complete report, check out BusinessWeek's website.
