How Can Communities Attract the Next Generation of Talent?

As millennials and Gen Z become the largest generations in the workforce, companies and communities are turning their attention to attracting this talent to their regions.

To gain a deeper insight into what influences career and location decisions for this rapidly growing workforce segment, DCI conducted a survey of 1,000+ individuals (ages 19-25), asking questions such as:

1. Where are you most interested in looking for employment opportunities?
2. What are the most important factors when considering where you’d like to live?
3. What tools would be most helpful to you when considering a move to a new location?
