Baton Rouge Named One of Nations Top College Towns to Find a Job

ABC News and Forbes have compiled a listing of the Top 20 College Towns in which to find a job and Baton Rouge came in #8. Since the Forbes website has a terrible habit of making you scroll through an entire slide show and load a new page for each and every number on the list, we'll save you the time with a copy and paste of what they said about Baton Rouge:
No. 8. College Town: Baton Rouge, La. (Metro area: Baton Rouge)
Primary university: Louisiana State University
Percentage of workers in university jobs: 2.8%
Job growth since 2008: 2.16% Data from Moody’s Economy.com.

Other towns to note: Provo UT, College Station TX, Tuscaloosa AL, and Seattle WA.

Here's the full story from ABC News, which does have a link to the Forbes site if you want to see the whole slide show.
