Why Young Adults Leave Ohio?
Recently in the The Marcolian magazine said that, " Between the census of 1990 and 2000, the population of young people in Ohio, ages 18-24, fell from 9.6 to 7.5 percent. This is an unusual trend because the country's population of young adults increased over two percent." And Sam Hilden, a 2004 Warren High School graduate, plans to move away from his hometown. "I want to be in a larger metropolis with more diversity, more job, more culture, less closed-mindedness," Hilden said.
It seems like many people think that bigger cities with many big companies will offer more choices and more jobs for them. But I am thinking, if you open your companies where they are needed and where you can get a lower cost like land, labors ... then a smaller city will be a nice choice. And many companies now seem to do this way, so there will have more chances for your job in a small city as in a big city.
So what reasons you suggest why young people leave Ohio?

well i'm not sure about leaving ohio all together, but i'm definately planning on leaving marietta, after 19 years, i think i've had my share of this town. Here the opportunities are limited, and there is no other place to turn except for to the outside world. However, small towns are a trap b/c the living is simple. I think young adults want out of ohio because they are in search of opporunities and adventure. The 70's are over, much of ohio, including marietta, has not realized that yet.
