According to a recent study from CoworkingCafe, Madison stands out as one of the best metros for MBA students and graduates due to its highly educated workforce, extremely low unemployment rate, and great health care coverage, which applies to over three-quarters of workers.
More than 100 U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) were analyzed to determine which ones offered the best environment and opportunities for MBA graduates from both a professional and personal standpoint.
Key findings of the study include:
-
The Madison metro was ranked fifth among the best U.S. MSAs for pursuing a post-MBA career and was the sole representative of the Midwestern region in the ranking;
Advertisement -
Madison claims the highest rate of employer-based health insurance coverage in the country — 78.1% of its workforce;
-
The metro logged an extraordinarily low unemployment rate (only 1.1%) among graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher — ranking fourth in the nation in this category; and
-
Madison registered the seventh-highest share of the population aged 25 or older holding graduate/professional degrees, at 20.1%.
