The Class of 2019 is getting ready to begin their post-college lives, and many new graduates are deciding where to start their careers and their lives.
We put together a list of 20 US cities with large and thriving populations of recent college grads.
We looked at five indicators in each of the 260 metropolitan areas for which data was available: size of the young-adult population, share of young adults with at least a bachelor's degree, the unemployment rate among young adults, median earnings among young adults, and the cost of living relative to the national average.
