Ten Hottest Cities for the Next Decade

Ten boom towns with resilient economies, growing industries, and lots of job potential. Knowledge workers, take note.

Note to President Obama: Future job growth is all about brain power. Over the next decade, the best jobs are going to go to the cities with the industries and the entrepreneurial incentives in place to support a highly educated, tech-savvy workforce.

In the end, we came up with ten hot spots where jobs will likely grow in the double digits between now and 2018. All are home to notable research institutions; all have solid technology based sectors; six out of ten are state capitals -- if you count Minneapolis, St. Paul's twin city, and the big kahuna of capitals, Washington D.C. -- and each one is a great place to live.
