When was this article written? It is talking about changes from 1990 to 2000. Who cares? We already know the young population exploded between that time. What about from 2000 to 2010, or 2005 to 2010? Those years would have far more relevance to today's Atlanta. The article is dated, and the last paragraph seems to give its age away:

"The number of 25- to 34-year-olds with a four-year degree increased 46 percent in Atlanta over the past decade, more than four times faster than the nation as a whole."

The past decade as in the 90s...

You know that good news is no news. Wait until a meteor hits the city and then we'll see the comments rolling in, haha.

This thread is also duplicated in the city data forum

https://www.city-data.com/forum/city-...workforce.html

Before everyone gets all mushy, if you actually take the time to read that press release closely you'll see that the statistics are from 1990 to 2000. They're talking about two-decade old data!

A lot has happened to Atlanta since 2000, much of it negative. And since the economic meltdown of 2008, Atlanta has taken major hit after major hit.
