The region of Northeast Ohio is bleeding young talent and is not recruiting enough college educated individuals to fill the demand that the regions companies currently have. This situation will only worsen as the aging workforce begins to retire in record numbers. Specific effects this is having on our region:

• The open positions are an economic drain on our regions companies in terms of recruiting and lost productivity costs.
• Young Professionals are a strong economic bloc and have a large amount of discretionary spending. By losing out on this demographic, the region is losing out of the spending that follows.
• College students all over the State of Ohio and in the Midwest have a skewed opinion of Northeast Ohio as a region that has no jobs and a region that is unable to offer a wide range of social, educational, recreational, and cultural activities. This does not help in recruiting additional Young Professionals and negatively affects the “grassroots” knowledge of our region.
