Millennials are packing their bags and leaving the nest! It’s about time, isn’t it? But these young professionals aren’t flocking to the typical hubs we would expect. Cities around the world that were once last on Millennial’s list are becoming suddenly popular. The big question is—what’s drawing them in? Read more to find out.

Moving Millennials

Transportation

Many Millennials are lacking the funds to invest in their own vehicles during the early stages of their career. Having access to fast, affordable, and easily accessible public transportation is becoming increasingly popular option for these young professionals. Cities like Scottsdale and San Francisco have drawn in quite a crowd due to the low transportation costs. Tempe offers numerous jobs accessible by a 30-min transit ride, making it a recent hot spot. Of course, cities like NYC, LA, and Chicago have stayed high in the rankings for their convenient public transportation throughout.

Technology

Millennials are the first generation to grow up in a technologically savvy age. Having technological exposure at such an early stage of life has changed the way this age cohort operates. Millennials are using technology in all aspects of their lives including—home, community, and work. Having this familiarity with technology is attracting Millennials to jobs Baby Boomers wouldn’t dare to conquer. Cities across the globe are building centers for technological innovation and ecommerce. For example, this spring the largest tech incubator, Station F, was developed as a campus for startups housed in Paris. Even U.S. cities like Pittsburgh, a vibrant steel manufacturing city, are now becoming a center for jobs in the technology and robotics industry.

 

While Millennials get a bad reputation for being lazy and unmotivated at times, we are starting to see this age cohort develop into its own. By widening their horizons and exploring the map Millennials are finding remarkable opportunities worldwide!
