Percentage of the workforce, age 25 and above, with at least a bachelor ’ s degree divided by the percentage of the population age 20 to 34 currently attending college. A value of 1.0 shows that the two percentages are equal – the region is retaining the college educated at the same rate at which it is educating them. A value greater than 1.0 is given to a region that not only keeps its own college graduates but also attracts them from other regions. A value less than 1.0 is given to a region that is keeping and attracting a lower percentage of the college educated than it is creating – the region is exporting its newly generated talent to other regions.
