RCLCO Real Estate Advisors has announced the metro areas of Charlotte, Austin, Denver, Seattle and Raleigh top their 2020 STEM Job Growth Index (STEMdex), published annually in partnership with office investment management firm CapRidge Partners.
The STEMdex tracks STEM job growth momentum through an analysis of the 38 largest metropolitan areas in the country. Rather than simply identifying where STEM jobs are today, the STEMdex seeks to understand where they might be going in the future based on changing local economies, migration of young households and other key factors to help real estate investors, policymakers and local governments understand which geographic areas and job categories will play the largest role in economic growth in the coming decades.
Some key changes noted regarding the 2020 listing include:
