Vermont has picturesque villages, apple orchards, and amazing fall colors, but it’s losing one important thing – young, talented workers.
But Vermont is not alone. States with rural areas and smaller cities struggle with the problem of “brain drain.” Students frequently attend local colleges and then take their degrees to big cities like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago.
