Young & Restless. On September 14 EDC and Equinox Center are hosting a lunch program about effectively competing to attract and retain the so-called “Young & Restless”—college educated young adults, the backbone of our future innovation economy. Seismic shifts will soon occur in America’s labor markets as the population of college educated young adults declines and Baby Boomers prepare to exit the workforce. As regions throughout the US compete for these Young & Restless, research shows this population won't be courted by just any suitor. Place matters. Portland economist, Brookings fellow and senior policy advisor to CEOs for Cities Joe Cortright will present his findings on how regions like San Diego can attract and retain this vital future workforce.
