College graduates still moving to the big cities

National Journal:
FASTEST-GROWING U.S. CITIES IMPORT THEIR COLLEGE GRADUATES

Relying on outside talent can help feed dynamic economies, but it also exacerbates achievement gaps and social tensions.
This is not a new phenomena.  I graduated from high school in a town in the Rio Grand Valley.  After graduating from the University of Texas, I went to Marine Corps OCS and did a tour in Vietnam before coming back to Texas to get my law degree.  I worked in Austin and later in Houston and had job offers in Washington DC and New York City.  It seemed like a typical career path for most of my classmates in college.

Houston is a vibrant city with a l;ow unemployment rate, around four percent.  There was plenty of local talent also getting jobs there and they still do.
