Report: Sarasota-Bradenton sees influx of college-educated residents

As people move around the country, a phenomenon called “brain drain” is plaguing some U.S. cities. That is to say, people with college educations are leaving certain areas.

In two Gulf Coast metro areas, the opposite was true last year, according to HireAHelper, a company that specializes in moving.

In fact, Sarasota-Bradenton experienced the largest “brain gain” — or influx of college-educated residents — among metro areas around the country, the company reports.
