CoworkingCafe Study Ranks Atlanta, SF and Seattle as Top Cities for Grads

CoworkingCafe is a US-based platform that lists coworking spaces and publishes data-driven real estate and lifestyle studies — not an official authority, but a source of rankings for popular media consumption. This study ranks US cities for recent college graduates using metrics like entry-level wages, cost of living (especially rent), unemployment rates, and availability of coworking spaces (a proxy for remote/freelance work opportunities). The results: Atlanta ranks first (high wages relative to low rent), followed by San Francisco and Seattle (high wages but high cost of living). The methodology matters because it explicitly weighs rent burden, which often determines whether a grad can actually afford to live in a given "good job" city.
