Raleigh is #1 Most Promising Metro for Recent College Graduates

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Raleigh ranks as the most promising location to find work for recent college graduates. The study, conducted by ADP Research, weighed cost-of-living-adjusted-wages in 55 U.S metro areas against hiring raters for people who  typically have a four-year degree.

Raleigh’s affordability pairs well with wages about the 80th percentile, as well as the best hiring rates for new grads of all metros studied. The highest-ranked cities each boast a concentration of technology, health, and financial firms, as well as access to several universities.
