A work(force) in progress, Cleveland is aggressive in its efforts to attract top talent through things like GlobalCleveland.org. Apparently it’s working—16 percent of the local workforce between the ages of 25 and 34 hold an advance degree, up 14 percent from 2009, placing the city eighth nationally and ahead of Chicago and Seattle. That’s important as the city transitions from a heavy reliance on manufacturing and diversifies into industries such as science and engineering.
