Brain Drain in Iowa
The Generation Iowa Commission will again this week to continue their discussion relating to the brain drain problem in Iowa. Brain drain is defined as the migration of recently graduated college students from Iowa to pursue opportunities in other states.
Earlier in the year, the Commission released its three-part report, linked at the conclusion of this post, on the factors contributing to brain drain and also suggested a variety of solutions to the problem.
